Restoration in Moreno Valley
Moreno Valley's Schedule of Fees lists a water heater permit at $60.00, with the re-inspection and replacement lines at $60.00 each. Replacement covers traditional storage tanks only. A tankless heater or any other design goes under the general mechanical, plumbing and electrical permits, so ask which one your unit needs before the old heater comes out. The Building and Safety Division of the Community Development Department issues those permits and runs plan check and inspections on moval.gov.
Because re-inspection is its own $60.00 line, write into the contract who pays if the inspector has to come back. Moreno Valley's boundary meets Moderate, High and Very High hazard classes on CAL FIRE's state map and on the local map CAL FIRE recommends, which the city can adopt or modify. Any one class there may reach just a strip of land. For a fire or smoke rebuild, ask Building and Safety which zone its adopted map gives your lot.
Two FEMA flood zones, A and AE, meet the boundary too, and FEMA's Flood Map Service Center answers for your address. California's B&P 7026 counts "the cleaning of grounds or structures" done in connection with building work as contracting, along with repair, alteration and demolition, so a company that tears out and cleans up after a leak is a contractor. B&P 7048 lifts the license rule only for a minor job priced under $1,000 in total that "does not require a building permit", so any job that needs one of the permits above doesn't qualify, whatever it costs.
