We Know How Newport Beach Works

Newport Beach requires all permits to be submitted through the City of Newport Beach Community Development Department. Kitchen remodels that involve moving plumbing, upgrading electrical panels, or removing load-bearing walls require a building permit and plan check approval before any work begins. Bathroom remodels with structural changes and ADU construction require full plan sets, energy compliance documentation (Title 24), and inspection at each phase.

ADU projects in Newport Beach follow California state law, allowing most single-family lots to add a detached ADU with a minimum 4-foot rear and side yard setback. Many neighborhoods in Newport Coast and Harbor Ridge fall under HOA jurisdiction, which may require design board approval before permit submission. We review HOA covenants and coordinate approvals on your behalf.

Patio covers and backyard structures over 200 square feet require a building permit. Solid roof structures require structural engineering drawings submitted with the application. Pool and spa installations require a separate permit and must pass inspection at rough plumbing, bonding, and final stages. Properties near the coast may also be subject to Coastal Commission review for significant exterior changes.

We prepare and submit all documentation on your behalf and keep you informed through every inspection milestone.
