HVAC permits and inspections
Canonical HVACentric knowledge for all questions on this topic.
DIRECT ANSWER
Permit and inspection requirements are set by the local authority and vary by location and scope. Before work begins, ask which permits apply, who will obtain them, which inspections are required, and how approval will be documented. A proposal should not treat permit responsibility as an assumption.
