Do I need a permit in So. Cal?
« on: April 23, 2005, 11:16:18 am »
Do I need to get a permit before installing a spa in Southern California?  I know at least 10 people with spas in their back yard--none have permits.  When I ask them about permits they look at me with a blank stare. Do most dealers advise getting a permit or is it a waste of money and time?
2005 Hot Spring Envoy still going strong. Million-Mile Club....

I want to get in the spa business so I can surf the internet and use Photoshop all day long.

Check with the building permit authority in your area.
In my case, I needed an electrical permit.  
To go without a permit where they are required is nothing any responsible person would advise you to do.
The penalty in my area for non permitted work is a fee of double the cost of the original permit, plus you have to bring the project up to code, including tearing apart existing work, or otherwise uncovering things to prove correct burial depth of footings, or wiring, or tearing down walls to inspect wiring, insulation, etc...
Totally your decision.
