At the local level, San Rafael enforces the California Plumbing Code through its Building Division. Contractors are responsible for securing permits for most installations, scheduling mandatory inspections, and adhering to specific Marin County water conservation ordinances. Failure to maintain these standards can lead to significant project delays and financial penalties.
