But do you need a permit for a house demolition?

The answer is almost always yes. If you, or your demolition contractor or company, are going to demolish a house you will need a permit. Most cities are fairly strict in the requirements for a housing demolition permit. A house demolition has to be done in a certain way in compliance with certain laws and ordinances.

Depending on your demolition company, and the area you live in, you may have to obtain a house demolition permit yourself before hiring a demolition company. Otherwise your demolition company will have to obtain the permit.

This first question comes from B.C. in Sherman Oaks: “Why do a lot of demolition contractors in Los Angeles seem to prefer using a hauling service over just renting dumpsters?

Good question! A lot of demolition contractors in Los Angeles prefer subcontracting out to a hauling service than renting a dumpster, because dumpster rental in Los Angeles is a nightmare. Hauling services in Los Angeles simplifies disposal of construction debris. Hauling Services also make the process of construction debris disposal. A hauling service saves both time and money. You wouldn’t think that a hauling service would save money but the money spent on a hauling service saves time in labor. Time saved with laborers in money saved.
