Hood and Duct Permits
A residential hood and duct permit is required to install a kitchen exhaust hood and duct system in a residential building within the City of Irvine. Additional permits may be required depending on the nature of the work. 

For information regarding the cost of the permit, call our permit issuance counter at 949-724-6313. 

Additional fees may be required dependent on the scope of the work.  Hood and duct systems also require an inspection before the system can be used. 

Inspections may be requested through our automated inspection request line by calling 949-724-6501, or by calling our inspection desk at 949-724-6396. Inspection request information may be found at the City of Irvine website. 

When calling the Inspection Desk, please provide the relevant permit numbers, the time and date you would like the inspection, where the inspection will occur, and the name of the contractor. Allow a minimum of 1 working day from the time of your request for an inspector to inspect your site.
