Questions that help determine whether a permit may be required.

Repair-only work versus replacement or relocation
Changes to gas, electrical, ductwork or equipment location
Whether the project affects structural or other regulated building systems

Why the project name alone is not enough.

This workflow is for replacing or relocating residential heating and air-conditioning equipment. Permit paperwork commonly needs the job address, equipment/work description, applicant or contractor information, and project-specific supporting specifications.

A repair can be treated differently from replacement, relocation, alteration or new installation. The safest path is to define the work precisely and confirm the current requirement with Anaheim before beginning regulated work.

It depends on the exact work. Repair, replacement, alteration and new installation can be treated differently, and the City is the authority on the current requirement.
