Codes change, and the Los Alamitos building department applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Los Alamitos quote should state the assembly being fitted. Historic districts near Los Alamitos may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered. Fire-zone properties around Los Alamitos carry assembly requirements that the permit will inspect against.
