About the Burbank guides
Where do the Burbank rules in these guides come from?
From the Burbank Municipal Code (Title 7 public ways, Title 9 building, Title 10 zoning), the City's 2025 handout on work exempt from a building permit, Public Works permit conditions, the Burbank2035 General Plan safety chapter, USDA soil data and NOAA climate normals. Each guide names its sources and the month it was last reviewed.
Do the guides replace a call to the City?
No. They lay out the rules that usually decide a concrete job and which counter to call. When a detail couldn't be confirmed from the City itself, the guide says so and gives the office number, such as Building and Safety at 818-238-5220 or Public Works at 818-238-3950.
Which guide fits my job?
A wall or a slab raised off the ground: the permits guide. Anything at the curb: the driveway approach guide. A lifted sidewalk or a parkway tree: the sidewalk guide. A lot above Sunset Canyon Drive: the hillside guide. A foundation or ADU: the soil and faults guide.
