This holds across San Diego County. Codes change, and the county or city building department covering Hidden Meadows applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Hidden Meadows quote should state the assembly being fitted. In practice, permit fees in Hidden Meadows are a small part of the work and a large part of what protects the owner at resale. This holds across San Diego County.
