Demolition Permit Application

Demolition permits hinge on two things outside the demo itself: proof that utilities are disconnected and proof that the structure was surveyed for asbestos. Both belong on the application, not in a follow-up email.

Who uses it

Demolition contractors, general contractors, remodelers gutting interiors and restoration companies.

What the generated document includes

  • Structure or portion being demolished
  • Utility disconnect confirmations for power, gas, water and sewer
  • Asbestos survey / NESHAP notification status
  • Debris disposal site and hauling details

Mistakes that get it kicked back

  • Starting interior demo before the asbestos survey is on file
  • Listing only the electric disconnect when gas and water caps are also required
  • Failing to name the disposal facility where the jurisdiction requires tipping receipts

Requirements vary by jurisdiction. Always confirm final submittal requirements with the authority having jurisdiction before filing.
