Summary
Victorville requires plumbing work to follow the 2025 California Plumbing Code, adopted by reference with the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code and California amendments; permits run through the Building Department fee schedule, and food establishments must separately install a grease control device before serving the public.
The 2025 Edition of the California Plumbing Code known as the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 5, incorporating by reference, the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code, published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials with California amendments, as hereinafter modified is designated and adopted by reference as the plumbing code of the City. One true copy of said California Building Code is on file in the Building Department and is available for public inspection.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 57).
Full Breakdown
Section 16-5.06.020 of the Municipal Code adopts the 2025 Edition of the California Plumbing Code, known as the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 5, incorporating by reference the 2024 Uniform Plumbing Code published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials with California amendments, as the City's plumbing code, with Appendices A, B, C, D, E, H and I incorporated by Section 16-5.06.025. That adoption is what triggers the permit requirement for plumbing work citywide; Section 16-5.06.030 sets plumbing permit fees according to the City's adopted fee schedule rather than a flat rate written into the code itself.
Section 16-5.06.060 layers a specific local permit condition onto food service plumbing: any establishment that prepares food for the public and needs plumbing fixtures tied to food preparation or cleanup must install a grease control device that complies with both the adopted Plumbing Code and Chapter 10.03 of the Municipal Code. Like other Article 5 permits, plumbing permit applications expire after 180 days without issuance under Section 16-5.01.100, and issued plumbing permits expire after twelve months with no completed work or requested inspection under Section 16-5.01.110, requiring a new application and, if the lapse exceeds a year, full new permit fees to resume work.
Violations & Fines
Plumbing work performed without a Building Department permit, or a food establishment operating without the required grease control device under Section 16-5.06.060, is subject to Code Enforcement citation and can force removal or retrofit of noncompliant fixtures before final inspection or certificate of occupancy is issued.
