Who should apply for a permit - the owner or contractor?

Either party can apply for a building permit. Some contractors take care of it themselves, while others place that responsibility on the homeowner.

Ideally, the contractor completes the online application due to insurance information required during the application process. Residents responsible for completing the permit can also ask for this information from their contractor.
