Q: What is the process involved with a Building Permit? A: When you receive a Building Permit there are a list of inspections on the back of the permit, which you are responsible for calling and setting up an appointment for us to inspect those items. Also, once the project is complete you need to call us to perform a Final Inspection and close out the Building Permit. We will issue you a Certificate of Occupancy at that time. If you have electrical work done you will need a third party inspection certificate to give to us at your Final Inspection. As always, if you have questions about the Permitting process give us a call.Q: What are the restrictions on political signs?
