Calabasas homes range from canyon properties in the Calabasas Highlands to large homes in gated and HOA communities, with commercial space around Old Town and the Calabasas Road and Agoura Road corridors. Demolition here often means working carefully around oaks, slopes, neighbors and HOA rules.

We work for Calabasas homeowners, property owners, general contractors and developers with one owner-led crew, so the person who bids your job runs it.

What to know before demolition in Calabasas

City permit. The City of Calabasas has its own Building & Safety Division, which issues demolition permits for properties in city limits. Nearby unincorporated areas, and neighboring Hidden Hills, are different jurisdictions with different permit offices. Rules vary by parcel; we’ll check with the right permit office before we start.
Oak trees. Calabasas has an oak tree ordinance. Work that affects oak trees generally requires a separate oak tree permit, typically with a report from a City-qualified arborist. Removing an oak damaged by fire or another natural disaster can be exempt, but only once City staff verify it. Mark every oak near the work area before we bid.
Fire history. The 2018 Woolsey Fire destroyed homes in parts of Calabasas. If you’re clearing remaining structures, foundations or flatwork from a fire-affected property, confirm current rebuild requirements with the City.
HOAs and gated communities. Many Calabasas communities require contractor registration, gate access lists, insurance certificates and set work hours. Send us the rules early, and we’ll provide COIs and schedule accordingly.
Asbestos: South Coast AQMD. Calabasas is in LA County, so asbestos is handled under South Coast AQMD Rule 1403. That means a certified asbestos survey before demolition, removal of all asbestos first, and a notification for every demolition, even when no asbestos is found. A copy goes to the building department with the permit application.
Utilities and 811. Water is generally from the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District. Some hillside properties may be on septic. We call DigAlert (811) before any digging.
