Simi Valley has a lot of single-family homes on decent-sized lots, many from the 1960s through the 1980s. That makes it a natural place for garage teardowns, ADU site prep, backyard concrete removal and whole-home remodels.

What to know before demolition in Simi Valley

City permit. Demolition permits in city limits go through the City of Simi Valley’s Building & Safety Division, part of the Environmental Services Department. The City accepts online permit submittals.
Mature trees and oaks. Simi Valley’s tree preservation ordinance protects all mature native oak trees, including on single-family lots, plus other qualifying mature and historic trees. Rules vary by tree and parcel; we’ll check with the city before we start. Removing or relocating a protected tree requires a Tree Removal Permit from the Planning Division. Protected trees near the work typically need to be fenced off before demolition starts. Tell us about any big trees on the lot.
ADU prep. If you’re replacing a garage or clearing part of the yard for an ADU, the demolition and the new construction often move together. Coordinate the demo permit with your ADU plans so the site is ready when your builder is.
Asbestos. Simi Valley is under the Ventura County APCD (Rule 62.7). Garages and homes from the 1960s-80s often have asbestos in siding, roofing, flooring or texture. A survey comes first and any asbestos is abated before demolition. VCAPCD’s ENF-62 notification is required.
Utilities and 811. Water in much of Simi Valley comes from Ventura County Waterworks District No. 8, with some areas served by another provider. Disconnects happen before demolition. We call DigAlert (811) before breaking out slabs or footings. Garages often hide old electrical runs and gas lines.
