That is as true in North Hills as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
Solar removal and reset on a North Hills job can call for its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. As a rule, historic districts near North Hills may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered. Permit requirements in North Hills run through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Minor repairs usually do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does.
