Chimney Service and Code Help in Calabasas, CA
Calabasas has its own building department, so permits here are issued by the city. Many homes sit in planned communities whose associations also review exterior changes, so a new chimney cap or a rebuilt chase may need their sign-off as well as the city's. Most of Calabasas lies in a very high fire hazard severity zone, and the 2018 Woolsey Fire burned through parts of the area. A spark arrestor that meets the rule is expected on every chimney, and insurers here often ask for proof.
