Most drain related incidents involve children. Entrapment avoidance is a mandatory requirement of the code.  \n• Nearly 9 of 10 drowning related deaths happen while a child is under some form of supervision, according to a Safe Kids Worldwide study.  \n• 77% of drowning victims had been missing from sight for less than 5 minutes  \nWhy Do I Need a Permit?  \nThere are many important reasons to obtain building permits and to have inspections performed for your construction project the following are just a few.  \nProtects property values  \nYour home is typically your largest investment.

Many financial institutions will not finance a purchase without proof of a final inspection. If you decide to sell a home or building that has had modifications without a permit, you may be required to tear down the addition, leave it unoccupied or do costly repairs.  \nImproves safety  \nYour permit allows the building department to inspect for potential hazards and unsafe construction. By ensuring your project meets the minimum building code standards of safety, the building department can reduce the risk of fire, structural collapse and other issues that might result in costly repairs, injuries and even death. Inspections complement the contractor’s experience and act as a system of checksand balances resulting in a safer project.  \nIt’s the Law  \nPermits are required by ordinance. Work without a permit may be subject to removal or other costly remedies.  \nThe purpose of this guide is to assist you in the permitting process.
