Gas, Electric and Gilroy's 2025 Codes
Gilroy adopted the 2025 California Building Codes with local amendments (Ordinance 2025-06) and did not adopt an all-electric requirement. Kitchen remodels can use gas or induction. The City’s electrification guidance notes the Bay Area Air District’s phase-out of gas water heater sales in 2027 and gas furnace sales in 2029, which can affect the rest of a renovation.
