====== Building Permit Process ======

Governed by **Chapter 5 (Building Regulations; Property Maintenance)**. Any new construction, addition, structural repair, or change of occupancy requires a building permit reviewed by the Building Inspections Division of NDS. Projects in historic districts additionally require a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) before a permit can be issued.
