On most jobs, the Calabasas building department handles the paperwork for roofing work in Calabasas, and a licensed contractor pulls it as part of the project rather than leaving it to the property owner. As a rule, permit requirements in Calabasas run through the Calabasas building department. Minor repairs usually do not require one; a tear-off and replacement does. Los Angeles County is no different. Fire-zone properties around Calabasas carry assembly requirements that the permit will inspect against.
