If your property is part of a Homeowners Association (HOA), your property may be subject to Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs)—private agreements that may impose development standards or conditions different from those in the current Los Angeles Zoning Code. LADBS does not review or enforce CC&Rs, and the issuance of a permit does not indicate compliance with them.

Applicants are advised to contact their HOA prior to submitting plans to LADBS. Many HOAs may require plan review before submission to the City, which can save you from going through the permitting process for a project the HOA might ultimately reject.
