Purpose
Residential Permits & Approvals USA organizes public information about residential construction, remodeling, additions, demolition and related approvals. It helps readers identify the correct questions and official starting points before contacting the authority responsible for a property.
Limits
The site does not issue permits, interpret codes for a particular property, inspect work, prepare drawings, recommend contractors or provide legal, engineering, architectural or safety advice.
U.S.-specific editorial approach
Local jurisdiction is treated as the starting point. Pages distinguish city, county, township and unincorporated-area responsibilities and separate government permits from HOA or condominium approval.
Related Canadian publication
The separate Residential Permits & Approvals Canada site covers Canadian systems. The two sites are independently structured for their countries and are not interchangeable.
Publisher
This site is published as a division of WRS Web Solutions Inc., a Canadian company. It is independent of U.S. federal, state, tribal, county and municipal governments.
