STATE C-20CSLB
HVAC contractors operating in Daly City must adhere to both state-level licensing through the CSLB and local municipal requirements. The process begins with ensuring your C-20 license is active and obtaining a city business license. All mechanical work, including system replacements, requires a permit from the Daly City Building Division to ensure compliance with the California Mechanical Code and Title 24 energy standards.
Compliance involves a rigorous inspection process. Contractors must submit plans or equipment specifications, pay the required permit fees, and schedule inspections at both the rough-in and final stages. Failure to secure permits or adhere to energy efficiency mandates can result in stop-work orders or fines. Always verify specific local amendments with the Daly City Building Division before starting your project.
