The work I’m doing to my home requires a permit. Who should obtain the permit, the homeowner or the contractor?
By ordinance, the owner is allowed to obtain the permits. However, the permit holder is responsible for making sure the work done meets the codes and ordinances adopted by the City of Peoria. So, if you have little or no knowledge of the pertinent codes, it would be recommended that the contractor apply for the permits.
