Who must sign off?.

Reach for this when the work may need a permit, an inspection, a license, or a utility's say.

Step by step

  1. Find out who has jurisdiction

    Start from the address, then confirm. Ownership and building size can change who answers. A ZIP code is only a hint.

    Write down · Note

  2. Ask which code and edition apply

    Ask the local office which edition and amendments are in force here. Do not quote from memory.

    Write down · Note

  3. List what belongs to someone else

    Note meters, main connections, rated assemblies, indoor batteries, and grid-tied systems. Call the utility before work on what it owns.

    Write down · Note

  4. Ask about permits and licenses

    Ask the local office and licensing board what this scope needs. Record the answer, who gave it, and the date.

    Write down · Task

  5. Match the worker to the scope

    Confirm the license on file covers this work, place, and date. A job title or years of practice does not.

  6. Keep code and upgrades apart

    Name a code minimum only with its edition and place. Offer better practice as a priced option.

    Write down · Note

  7. Hold what has no answer

    If an answer is missing, hold that part and tell the customer what is open and who owes the answer.
