- Work schedule;
- Cost of the work.
Procedure
The steps are as follows:
- Before the file can be evaluated, the request must be signed and paid for, and all the required documentation must be completed.
- Your request will then be reviewed. Due to the high volume of permit requests, we are unable to provide an exact processing time. When you submit your request, an estimate of the time it will take will be provided.
- The inspector will issue the certificate of authorization.
