Redding, CA Building Safety: Plumbing Permits (2026)

05 of the Redding Municipal Code adopts the California Plumbing Code, 2022 Edition, incorporating it by reference as the plumbing code of the city, with a copy kept on file and open for public inspection at the City of Redding permit center. 5 of the California Plumbing Code, which set the state model's default permit fee amounts, are deleted from the adopted code, meaning Redding does not use the state's fee table and instead sets its own plumbing permit fees through the city's separately adopted fee schedule maintained by Development Services.

This same fee-section deletion appears identically in the neighboring Building, Mechanical, and Green Building Standards Code chapters, reflecting a citywide practice of adopting the state model codes wholesale for technical standards while reserving fee-setting authority to the city council. Any water supply, drain-waste-vent, gas piping, water heater, or fixture installation subject to the adopted Plumbing Code requires a permit obtained at the permit center before work begins and inspection before it is concealed or placed in service. 12, which makes any code violation a misdemeanor unless the offense is classified as, or reduced to, an infraction.
