A permit is an official document that gives permission to carry out specific activities, including construction and/or demolition of a building or structure, installing plumbing, activity in the public right-of-way, land disturbing activity, and more. Permits ensure a project meets safety, health, zoning, and environmental standards. Permits also provide a legal record of activity that may affect property sale and insurance claims, among other implications.
