We issue a Master Permit to the Applicant, which may or may not be the GC, but is required to be specified prior to the permit being issued. All other permits (i.e., electrical, plumbing, mechanical, sign, etc.) are all by separate and linked to the Master Permit. This is mainly due to a lack of a local licensing program for GC, mechanical and plumbing contractors, yet having to enforce the state licensing requirements for electrical contractors. We are still pushing for a licensing program that would require a licensed contractor to pull a permit (with exceptions), but have not been able to get past council. If the licensing program takes off, we will look at combining the permits to reduce fees and help with tracking.
