Trade permit

A permit for a single trade's work — electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, roofing in some jurisdictions.

Many jurisdictions split work into trade permits pulled by the licensed trade contractor: an electrical permit for a panel upgrade, a plumbing permit for a repipe. Trade permits are the highest-signal records in a feed because the work is specific and the timeline is now — PermitBoards' lanes (roofing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, pool, solar, demolition, remodel, new construction) are built around them.
