Note regarding permit status . . .

Building Permits issued after January 2015 will have a status of "Finaled" when all inspections are complete. Older permits may still have a status of "Permit Issued". On these permits, please review the inspection history to verify all inspections are complete. Permit Revisions (example: 18REV-xxxxx) are related to a master Building Permit where all inspections are recorded. The parent permit can be found under "Related Records". Permit Revisions records are considered complete when in "Permit Issued" status.
