Yorba Linda enforces California smoke-alarm and carbon-monoxide-alarm law through its adopted residential and fire codes. State law requires working smoke alarms and CO alarms in all dwellings, and additional detectors must be added when building permits are issued. The city provides a self-certification form for alarm installation.
Yorba Linda follows the statewide California smoke-alarm and carbon-monoxide requirements adopted through its building, residential, and fire codes (Municipal Code Title 15). Under California Residential Code Sections R314 and R315, smoke alarms are required in each sleeping room, outside each sleeping area, and on every level, and carbon-monoxide alarms are required in dwelling units that contain a fuel-burning appliance or fireplace or that have an attached garage. When a building permit valued at $1,000 or more is issued for work in an existing dwelling, the home must be retrofitted to current smoke-alarm and CO-alarm standards. California law (Health & Safety Code Sections 13113.7 and 17926) separately requires at least one approved smoke alarm and one approved carbon-monoxide alarm, both listed
Smoke- and CO-alarm requirements are enforced through building inspection and the fire code; permits will not final without required alarms, and rental or transfer noncompliance can expose an owner to state penalties under Health & Safety Code Section 13113.7. Missing
