Demolition permit

Permission to tear down a structure in whole or part, usually with utility-disconnect and safety conditions.

A demolition permit is two opportunities in one record: the demo/dumpster work itself, and whatever gets built next on the cleared lot. Demo permits often precede a new-construction permit at the same address by months, which is why the demolition lane is worth watching even if you never swing a hammer.
