When a permit is required
Permit triggers and exempt work for Mount Enterprise
Verified public ordinance authority requires a building or use permit before constructing or making use of a multi-family dwelling unit in the city and requires trade contractors connected with that work to obtain construction permits in their respective trades.
Note: No public exempt-work list was found. Because no clearly documented citywide general building-permit program was found, do not assume the city administers a full city-style permit program for all building work. The verified public permit controls are narrower and ordinance-specific.
