PARCEL PROFILE ATTRIBUTES

General

The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) Electronic Permit System (e-Permit system) determines the available type(s) of work presented to the e-Permit user based on the following three items:

  1. The state contractors license "class code",
  2. The "Building Type Description" selected for the building, and
  3. Three distinct parcel profile attributes that may be associated with the parcel on which the building is located (i.e. "Historical", "HPOZ", or "CRA").

If the desired type(s) of work are not available or if no types of work are available, it means that one or more of the items above prevents one or more of the 11 possible types of work from being processed over the e-Permit system. To obtain the required permit(s), visit your nearest LADBS Construction Services Center. The impact of three distinct parcel profile attributes on the 11 possible types of work is detailed below. The final list of the available type(s) of work shown on the e-Permit system for a given project address is determined by the combination of all three of the items shown above.

Three District Parcel Profile Attributes

There are three distinct parcel profile attributes that may be associated with the parcel on which the building is located. The first, "Historical", signifies that the parcel contains a building or structure that has been identified as a city, state, or federal historical monument. The second, "HPOZ", signifies that the parcel is located in an area designated as a "Historical Preservation Overlay Zone" to protect the historical nature of the area. The third, "CRA", signifies that the parcel is located in an area designated as a "Community Redevelopment Area". Use the table below to determine the available type(s) of work based on the three distinct parcel profile attributes. A "YES" in the table below indicates that the given type of work will be available for the parcel profile attribute. A "NO" in the table below indicates that the given type of work will not be available for the parcel profile attribute.
