Who pulls the alteration permit in Juneau
The contractor of record pulls the permit. Where Alaska allows it, an owner-builder can pull it directly by signing the owner-builder affidavit — the app swaps the contractor block for that disclosure automatically.
Why Juneau remodeling applications get kicked back
The most common cause is a scope description too vague for the plans examiner to tell whether structure is being touched. Because the application is generated from your saved shop profile and the job scope, that field is populated before it ever reaches the counter.
