Building permits for projects within the city limits of Costa Mesa are reviewed by the Costa Mesa building department. Your Title 24 energy report is submitted as part of that permit package.
How submission works in Costa Mesa
Title 24 itself is a statewide California code, but the permit is issued locally. For projects inside Costa Mesa’s city limits, plans and the energy report are submitted to the Costa Mesa building/permit division. Projects in unincorporated areas near Costa Mesa are typically handled by Orange County.
We prepare your CF1R or LMCC using CEC-approved software and complete CHEERS registration, then deliver a permit-ready PDF formatted for submission to your local jurisdiction. For current submission steps, hours, and addresses, check the Costa Mesa official city website — local processes change from time to time.
