Local Building Guide
Building in Pacific Palisades: permits & site conditions
Pacific Palisades projects are permitted through the City of Los Angeles. Requirements vary by parcel — we confirm yours before design.
Permits
Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS)
- Pools, spas, retaining walls over 4 ft (or any wall holding a surcharge), patio covers and most outdoor kitchens with gas or electrical need LADBS plan check and inspections.
- The City of LA Protected Tree ordinance covers native oaks, Southern California black walnut, western sycamore and California bay — work in their root zones needs a permit from Urban Forestry.
- Portions of the Palisades lie in the Coastal Zone and need a Coastal Development Permit; many lots are also in the Hillside Area.
- The area is a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Homeowners rebuilding after the January 2025 fire should confirm current city rebuild procedures.
Soil, hillside & site
- Hillside lots usually require a geotechnical report; pools and walls on slopes are often supported on deepened footings or caissons and designed for the slope setback the engineer recommends.
- Known landslide and bluff areas make the geotechnical report the first step on many lots.
Pacific Palisades FAQs
Does the Coastal Zone affect my Palisades project?
If your parcel is in the Coastal Zone, a Coastal Development Permit is usually required before building permits. We check your parcel first.
Can you help with a post-fire rebuild of the backyard?
Yes. We coordinate with the rebuild of the home so the pool, hardscape and landscape meet current fire and hillside requirements.
Who permits pools in Pacific Palisades?
The Palisades are in the City of Los Angeles, so LADBS handles plan check and inspections.
