About each permit
Contractor and Permit Processor Registration
State-licensed trades (electrical, plumbing, home-improvement contractors, etc.) are explicitly exempt from this registration provided their state license number is on file. No surety bond currently applies — the 2018 ordinance directly and explicitly repealed a former $15,000 bond requirement, which several third-party surety-bond marketing sites still incorrectly advertise as current. That repeal is confirmed by a direct read of the amending ordinance's own text.
