Installation of Water Use Efficiency Improvements
As of January 1, 2014, SB 407 requires non-compliant plumbing fixtures to be replaced by waterconserving plumbing fixtures when a property is undergoing alterations or improvements The Application of Senate Bill 407 (SB 407) As of January 1, 2014, SB 407 requires non-compliant plumbing fixtures to be replaced by waterconserving plumbing fixtures when a property is undergoing alterations or improvements. Based on definitions found within the California Building Code and California Green Building Code, alteration and improvements are interpreted to mean any construction to an existing structure which enhance or improve the structure. Construction related to repairs or maintenance of the structure is not considered to be an alteration or improvement. Through this interpretation, SB 407 only applies to permitted additions, alterations and improvements. Additionally, permits can be pulled for property maintenance and repair without triggering SB 407 requirements. Below is a list of permits that are considered to be repair or maintenance. Background SB 407, authored by Senator Alex Padilla, was signed into law in 2009. The purpose of this bill is to capture increased water savings accomplished by the conversion to efficient water fixtures. SB 407 has dramatic impact on building departments and homeowners performing alterations and improvements to their homes.

and local government agencies, have conducted over 30 stings throughout the State. It is common knowledge that some homeowners fail to check whether a person has a valid contractors license or go with the unlicensed operator thinking they are saving money. “Unlicensed As 2013 winds down, we can look back at the contractors put homeowners in jeopardy,” said many illegal and unlicensed individuals that CSLB Registrar Steve Sands. “If a contractor isn’t were taken off the street by the CSLB.

So if the work being done is strictly for agricultural operations, then it appears based on the above code section that a Contractor’s License would not be needed. However, if you would like an official determination I recommend contacting the CSLB. Q: I had a judgment on my previous sole owner license but the judgment is over 8 years old. I recently applied for a new contractor’s license in the name of my corporation. The application was denied based on the 8-year old judgment that is “unsatisfied”. It was my understanding that judgments go away after a period of 7 years. Is that not true? A: It is our understanding that the CSLB has no statute of limitations for a judgment on a license. The Superior Court of California does have a 10year statute of limitations. After 10 years if the Superior Court does not renew the judgment, you can provide proof of non-renewal to the CSLB in order to have the judgment forgiven. While knowledge is power, knowing where to go for the answers is half the battle.
