This form is not for new builds of stick built houses, modular or mobile home dwellings.  For building permits for dwellings, click the 'Building Permits' link on the menu above and to the left, and select the appropriate project type.

If you are doing trade work in conjunction with an existing new construction project, such as a new house, inground pool, or other project type for which a general contractor has already purchased a master permit, then all we would need from any trade contractor who is doing work under that master permit would be a trade affidavit.  Trade Affidavits are not for use as permit application for stand alone work such as that described in the bulleted list above.
