Building and Trade Permits
A permit application provides for a system that will generate a corresponding inspection. Inspections are done to ensure the work done is to national, state and local standards, and that valuable homes are properly maintained.
View the Permit Information Sheet for a listing of what work requires a permit.
Permit Responsibility
Typically, a contractor will submit permit applications and receive a copy of the approved permit. However, the property owner is responsible for ensuring that all proper permits are submitted for work done at the property. Homeowners are encouraged to request copies of approved permits from their contractors. If work begins without a permit, the contractor and/or the property owner may be subject to triple permit fees for work done without permits.
Permit Process
Generally, permits are reviewed and approved within 2-3 business days of being submitted.
All permit fees are required at the time of submittal. Permits may be mailed, hand delivered or emailed.
