About South Whittier
South Whittier is home to about 56,000 people and roughly 15,800 housing units, according to the 2020 U.S. Census. About two-thirds of homes are owner-occupied and about one-third are rented, so toilet repair calls come from homeowners, renters and landlords alike.
County, not city
Because South Whittier is unincorporated, building permits and inspections are handled by Los Angeles County rather than the City of Whittier. A simple toilet repair generally doesn’t involve permits, but larger bathroom work might. Your plumber can confirm requirements for your address.
