14 community QMW HOA Chairman Spring has come to Quail Meadows West! With all the rain comes a welcome relief for some of our drought. Please start planning your front yard landscaping and bringing back your yards. We must still be mindful of water conservation but there is no reason to leave a dead lawn. I wanted to share with you the permit requirements from the city of S.M. and what DOES require a permit. Building Permits Required. From the Santa Maria Building Department We all know that a completely new building or an addition to an existing building requires a building permit. However, did you know that a building permit is also required to be issued by the Building & Safety Division prior to: 1. Replacing or moving your water heater. 2. Replacing or installing a new wall or forced air furnace. 3. Replacing or installing a new wood burning stove or fireplace. 4. Replacing or installing a fireplace insert. 5. Installing or replacing water softeners, reverse osmosis units or other water treatment systems. 6. Installing new ceiling fans, bathroom fans, outdoor lighting (except low voltage), replacement or new wiring, or new 7. receptacles and/or switches. 7. Replacing or installing a spa (electrical or gas) including portable units that utilize existing exterior outlets. 8. Replacing or installing block walls above 3 in height. Replacing or installing other types of fences, check with Building and Planning for guidelines. 9. Remodeling or adding onto your home or commercial building. 10. Installing drywall in your garage. 11. Changing the use of a portion of your home, such as converting the garage into a habitable use or enclosing an existing patio. 12. Replacing or installing new windows. 13. Replacing an existing window with a door. Some added information regarding contractors vs. handymen. Can an unlicensed handyman legally do any type of work as long as the work does not exceed $500? No. In accordance with current California law, an unlicensed handyman may only perform work that is "casual, minor or inconsequential in nature." Note that the $500 limit includes both labor and materials, unlicensed handymen are required to disclose to consumers that they are not licensed by the State Contractors License Board. Is it true a contractor s License is not required if the work to be performed is under $500? Yes, B&P section 7048 (small operations) provided an exemption from a licensure for minor work if the aggregate contract price, including labor, materials, etc. is less than $500. This exemption does not apply if the minor work is part of a larger project. Example: A homeowner is having a kitchen remodeled at a total cost of $6000 and decides to sublet the flooring work which is only $300. The person doing the flooring would not be exempt from licensure because the overall cost of the project was over $500. In addition jobs cannot be broken down into hourly fees in order to sidestep the $500 threshold. When considering work be safe and plan ahead M. Anderson
