Building Division
A building permit is not required for one story, ground-level detached accessory structures used as tool or storage sheds, playhouses, and buildings of similar use, provided the floor area does not exceed 120 square feet. These structures shall not have electrical or plumbing.
However the location of the structure; regardless of the size, must obtain approval by the Planning Division prior to placement.
If your project is a very simple one, such as a window replacement, kitchen remodel, etc., you may be able to qualify for a minor-permit and be able to obtain the permit that day or soon thereafter. A “full” building permit processing will be necessary should the building envelope be increased and/or structural plans be required; geology and soils reports may also be necessary. These projects must be reviewed by specified City Divisions and Departments to ensure that they meet all the City’s requirements, and also that the construction is structurally sound. Depending on the nature of the project, you may also be required obtain approval from other non-City departments such as LA County Fire Department, LA County Health Department, etc.
The design of the building (and the structural calculations) is reviewed by the Plan Checker. The Planning Division also reviews the plans to ensure that the zoning regulations are being met. The Public Works Department Engineer checks the project for conformance to environmental quality laws and also makes sure that driveway drainage and grading meet City requirements. Additional fees may be required.
When the City review is completed, the Building Division staff will notify you that the plans have been checked and that you may now obtain your building permit. Once the permit is final, approved residential plans are retained by the City for a period of not less than 180 days. Plans for completed commercial and industrial construction are retained permanently.
After building plans are approved and signed by City staff, the permit is ready to “issue”. Either an owner/builder or a State licensed contractor may be issued a permit, but each must comply with the Workers Compensation Insurance laws. The State of California mandates that cities ensure that these laws are followed.
There is only one circumstance in which Workers Compensation Insurance is not needed, and that is if the owner/builder or contractor does all the work completely by him or herself. This means that you must have Workers Compensation Insurance regardless of whether the persons assisting you (i.e., family or friends) are paid or non-paid.
If a State-licensed contractor is being issued the permit, he/she will need a City business license, which will require that a contractor’s license (pocket card) be produced.
A Building Permit is valid for 180 days from the date of issuance. It may continue to be renewed every 180 days thereafter by calling for a required City inspection, which will demonstrate progress is being made in completing the work. If work authorized under a permit is suspended for 180 days or more, the permit will lapse. A permit may be extended for 180 days by paying a Permit extension fee to extend the permit, provided no changes have been made in the original plans and the work has not been suspended or abandoned for a year or more. The permit may be “renewed” after expiration by payment of the full permit fee. It is possible that plans may need to be rechecked for conformance with current codes.
Residents are advised that the construction of new structures (and alterations to existing structures) requires a City building permit. Structures that are constructed without a building permit are often not built to code and in some cases cannot be legalized due to zoning regulations (such as garage conversions).
There are various fees involved in legalizing unpermitted construction and such fees can include, but are not limited to: a review fee by the Planning Division, a Housing Investigation fee, a plan check review fee by the Building Division, a fee for the building permit, Waste Management Fees, School Fees, a demolition permit fee, etc.
There are other out-of-pocket expenses, such as fees for obtaining an architect or engineer to draw out your plans, the cost of labor to bring the structure(s) up to code and the cost of materials.
For specific information regarding how you can legalize your non-permitted construction and to determine if such construction can be legalized, please contact the Planning Division at (562) 801-4332.
If you suspect your neighbor of altering or adding to his property without a permit or Planning Division approval you can report it to the Building Division at (562) 801-4360.
You may call the Building Division at (562) 801-4360 or visit our Counter at City Hall. Inspections can only be scheduled by speaking directly to a Counter Services Representative. When placing an inspection request, please have the following information available: the project address or location, the builder’s name, the type of inspection, the permit number, and a telephone number where you may be reached. Inspection requests received by the Department before 3 p.m. will typically be scheduled for the next business day. Requests received after 3 p.m. will be scheduled for the second business day.
With only a few exceptions, a building permit must be issued prior to the commencement of work to erect, construct, enlarge, alter, move, improve, remove, convert, or demolish any building or structure. Other permits, i.e. electrical, plumbing or mechanical, may also be required. A permit applies to work on the interior as well as the exterior of the structure. A permit for minor work may be approved over the counter or within a few days. Work covered by the building permit must have a final city inspection before the project can be considered complete. Due to the diversity of construction projects, we would recommend that you contact our Building Division to discuss the types of permits and City review process that may be required for your proposed project. Based on the construction valuation, permit fees will also be charged. The Building Division may be reached at (562) 801-4360 or visit our Counter at City Hall.
A permit is required whenever a building or structure is being demolished. This is to assure that construction debris has been removed, sewer or septic lines have been properly capped and the site is restored to a safe condition to ensure that all health and safety hazards have been removed. Demolition permits are usually issued over the counter at the Building Division, and the permit fees are minimal.
California State Law also requires that all contaminants, such as lead and asbestos, be properly disposed of. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that all demolition permit applicants first obtain clearance from the South Coast Air Quality Management District, prior to applying for a demolition permit from the City of Pico Rivera.
South Coast Air Quality Management District may be reached at 21865 Copley Dr. – Diamond Bar CA 91765, call (909) 396-2000, or visit the District’s website.

- Residential Wall Furnace Replacement (Replacement only/ same location)

- Residential Electrical Fixtures, Receptacles & Switches (Replacement of lighting and fixtures, receptacles or switches.)
- Residential Water Heater Replacement and Upgrade (replacement only- same location)
- Residential Water Piping Replacement (replacement only)
- Residential Free-Standing Blockwall; to 6 feet (new or replacement, Planning approval required).
Permit requirements and review processes vary, based on the type of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub that is being installed. We recommend that you contact the Building Division via phone at (562) 801-4360 or visit our Counter at City Hall.
Applications must be submitted on forms provided by the Building Division. You can download the preliminary form here and submit it to the Building Division.

Cars & Parking
To get involved, residents can attend meetings and learn about new parking laws that will be introduced and considered for the amendment to the City’s parking regulation. Simply click on the, “notification” tab, add your contact information, and you will receive an email or phone call about upcoming community meetings and public hearings.
The parking analysis began in February of 2019 with a field study of various locations to collect information about the City’s existing parking conditions. City staff estimates that the newly enacted parking regulation will not go into effect until 2020 or possibly 2021. The reason for this amount of time is because we want to ensure Pico Rivera is closely studied and proposed changes to the parking regulation are analyzed and vetted with input from residents and business owners whenever possible.
When enacted, new parking regulations could be more impactful in some areas and less in other parts of the City. For example, if your neighborhood is not experiencing poor parking conditions, more than likely the new regulation will not directly affect your street. However, if your street is heavily impacted by poor parking conditions, new regulation will be implemented with the intent of providing relief to these areas of the City.
A parking analysis is a method that will be used to study existing parking conditions throughout Pico Rivera’s residential, commercial, and industrial areas. The information gathered during the field study portion will be helpful in determining the behaviors which lead to poor parking conditions in the City. Information gathered from the field study is necessary to identify comprehensive solutions that will provide relief in areas that are affected with poor access to parking. In addition, the parking consultant will review the City’s current regulations to ensure sufficient parking is required for a diversity of land uses including restaurants, retail shops, and industrial warehouse buildings.
After careful consideration, the City Council will ultimately vote to decide which new ordinances are added to the City’s parking regulation. However, by attending meetings and providing input, residents can get involved with the process to ensure decision-makers are aware of specific parking issues.
Pico Rivera was incorporated as a City in 1958 and since then, the way we live and travel has changed due to modernization and an increase in population. In addition, the high cost of housing in southern California is most likely a major contributing factor as to why many households are multi-generational and find it necessary to live together in order to meet the demands of costly mortgages and rent. It is for these reasons, and possibly other contributing factors, that parking has become constrained in many areas of Pico Rivera. A study of the City’s existing parking conditions will allow the consultant to identify issues and make recommendations as to how particular parking problems throughout the City can best be resolved.
City Clerk
A City Clerk is a professional who possesses specialized training in many areas of public administration whether is by virtue of years of experience or academic training or a combination thereof. Among the areas of expertise for any City Clerk include: Elections, Legislative Process and Records Management. Additionally, the City Clerk must be well versed and have experience in Personnel Administration and Project Management. Generally speaking, the City Clerk acts as the City’s General Secretary and serves the Citizenry, the City Council and City Staff.
The process by which to request records in Pico Rivera is simple. You may request records by telephone, in writing, email or by visiting City Hall. Whichever method you use to request records from the City Clerk’s Office, be as specific as you can relative to the records you are seeking and also provide a specific time frame associated with said request. Please bear in mind that the Clerk’s Office has a 10 day window of time in which to determine if the records are to be released or if they are exempted.
Process in short:

Within 10 working days a determination is made regarding whether or not records are subject to disclosure.
If records are to be disclosed, the departments of the subject matter of the request are asked to provide the information to the City Clerk.
If the records are exempted (meaning they will not be released) under the provisions of the California Public Records Act, a letter is sent to the requestor stating so.
If records are to be disclosed, the City Clerk collects the information received from the departments, assembles the information and contacts the requestor to inform them of the fee associated with said request.
Upon payment of fee, records are either mailed or left with City Clerk staff waiting to be picked up.
In every instance, the City Clerk staff will work with you to ensure you obtain what you need in a timely manner. The City Clerk will also offer the option for you to make an appointment and inspect records in the City Clerk’s Office prior to staff making copies of said records if these can be released.

The City of Pico Rivera was incorporated on January 29, 1958.

Government. For example, Government Code section 36501 authorizes general law cities be governed by a city council of five members, a city clerk, a city treasurer, a police chief, a fire chief and any subordinate officers or employees as required by law.

Yes, the City Clerk manages all of the City’s records as the city’s official custodian of records. Please visit the City Clerk’s page
Any record that belongs to the City including City Council, Redevelopment Agency, Housing Assistance Agency, Public Financing Authority and Water Authority are considered records of the City. The City Clerk does not maintain County, State or Federal records.
The Public Records Act is the law that contains all of the provisions under which records can and cannot be disclosed. (Government Code Section 6250).
As a general rule any record that is considered exempted under the California Public Records Act (GC Section 6250).
The Office of City Clerk is one of the oldest established offices in human history and the profession itself is among the oldest dating back to antiquity. From a historical perspective, the profession of City Clerk can be traced to biblical times and even before that.
In antiquity, ancient Greece and Rome had a city secretary who read official documents publicly. At the opening of a meeting, one of his duties was to read a curse upon anyone who should seek to deceive the people.
The early keepers of the archives were called remembrancers, and before writing came into use, their memory was the public record. The title as we know it today it is derived from the middle ages. A “Clerk” was any member of a religious order, a “cleric” or “clergyman.” Since, for all practical purposes, the scholarship of the middle Ages was limited to the clergy, the name “clerk” came to be synonymous with “scholar.”
The Office of Clerk can be traced back to the year 1272 A.D. in the History of the Corporation of Old London. In the 1500’s in England there was not only the “Towne Clarke” but also the “Clerc Comptroller of the King’s Honorable Household.” In 1603, there was a “Clarke General of the Armie.” King Henry the Eight had a “Clarke of the Spicery” and King Charles had his “Clerk of the Robes.”
When early colonists came to America, they set up forms of local government to which they had been accustomed, and the office of the clerk was one of the first established.
(Source: City Clerk’s Handbook, 2004 edition, page 1-1.)
The profession of City Clerk is as relevant today as it was in the past whereby every town, city, county, borough, special district, school district, state and even the United States Congress has its own Clerk. In the United States Congress, we find the “Office of the Clerk of the United States House of Representatives” and similarly, at the state level here in California, we find the “Office of the Chief Clerk” in Sacramento.
The duties of the City Clerk are prescribed by statute and are outlined in the California Government Code. The duties of the Clerk can vary from city to city. However, generally speaking a City Clerk is tasked with: keeping a correct record of journal proceedings through minutes; serving as accounting officer and maintaining financial records; publishing city’s financial report; maintaining book of ordinances; resolutions and minutes; retaining custody of all city records; being the custodian of the city seal; acting as an ex-officio assessor; administering oaths of office to elected officials and city staff; taking and certifying affidavits and depositions; indexing all city records; maintaining a records retention program; conducting and managing elections; acting as secretary to all city entities (Redevelopment, Housing, Water and Public Financing Authorities); receiving petitions relating to initiatives, referendum or recall processes; countersigning general obligation bonds; attesting to subpoenas; giving notices of public hearings; filing official bonds; accepting request for proposals; accepting and opening bids; serving as filing officer for the Political Reform Act; maintaining appointive list of all commissioners; preparing agendas; answering citizen inquiries about city business; maintaining the municipal code; conducting voter registration drives; notarizing documents; acting as archivist or city historian; processing public records requests and other duties as assigned.
