Do you need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Milpitas

Q: Do you need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Milpitas?

A kitchen remodel in Milpitas needs a permit when it changes plumbing, wiring, gas, ventilation or walls; purely cosmetic work does not. The City lists painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets and countertops as finish work that needs no building permit. Once the scope goes further, separate permits apply. Milpitas requires plumbing permits to install, replace or relocate fixtures such as sinks and gas lines, electrical permits for new or relocated wiring, and mechanical permits for hoods and ductwork. The permit must be issued before work starts. Kitchen remodel permits are available online from the Office of Building Safety, 455 E. Calaveras Blvd, (408) 586-3240. Most remodelers file the permit and schedule inspections themselves; confirm that in the estimate.
