The 2026 Edition Los Angeles County Electrical Code Amendments integrate locally amended provisions into the 2025 California Electrical Code (CEC), thereby producing the Los Angeles County Electrical Code, 2026 Edition. The amendments take effect on January 1, 2026, and apply to all electrical work in the unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County and in incorporated cities that contract for Los Angeles County electrical inspection services.
Regulatory Hierarchy:
Technical Basis: 2025 California Electrical Code (Title 24, Part 3, California Code of Regulations)
Administrative & Local Amendments: Title 27 of the Los Angeles County Code, comprising Sections 89.102 through 89.114, Section 90, Chapters 1 through 9, and Appendices A through J (some editions include Appendix K)
Nature of Local Amendments: Primarily administrative in nature; they do not constitute substantive changes or modifications to the technical requirements of the California Building Standards Code
Key Changes:
These amendments repeal the prior provisions that referenced the 2022 California Electrical Code and replace them with references to the 2025 California Electrical Code, completing the technical baseline update from the 2022 edition to the 2025 edition. Existing Title 27 provisions not deleted or modified by these amendments remain in full force and effect.
Scope of Application:
The unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County, and incorporated cities that contract for Los Angeles County electrical inspection services. Currently, 8 of the 88 incorporated cities in Los Angeles County utilize these services.
Background:
The Los Angeles County Electrical Code has been in effect since April 26, 1933. It is under continuous review to keep pace with current developments, with revisions made periodically in collaboration with organizations representing electrical inspectors, fire protection officials, and all segments of the electrical industry. The Building and Safety Division has utilized the combination inspection system since its establishment in 1933—one inspector performs all code inspections (building, grading, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical) within a given geographical area, resulting in efficient service at low cost to the public.
