Permit Status Maintenance

 

Summary

 

The Permit Status Maintenance window is used to create and maintain permit statuses. A permit status is a user-defined code used to describe the current state of an application or permit based on the completion of the required inspections. For example, a permit that has successfully passed each of its inspection type steps could be listed as Active while a permit that failed an electrical inspection could be listed as Reinspect.
