CONTRACTOR REQUEST TO CANCEL A PERMIT
If a Contractor wants to cancel a permit, he/she shall submit proof to the Building Official that the owner
of record for the permit has been notified. Proof shall be either a copy of a certified registered letter and
return receipt received by the owner, or by a notarized letter from the owner stating that he/she is aware
of the cancellation of the permit and has no objection to the request. In addition, the Contractor will
send the Building Official a letter stating that the Building Official is held harmless from any legal
involvement. Upon receipt of these documents, the existing permit will be cancelled after a field
inspection has been completed.
If a Sub-Contractor wants to cancel a permit, the same procedures apply, with the exception that the
Sub-Contractor must show proof to the Building Official that both the Contractor and the Owner of
Record have been notified and have no objections. The Sub-Contractor will also send a letter to the
Building Official stating that the Building Official is held harmless from any legal involvement.
