You must obtain a building permit for the following activities:
- Constructing a condominium, apartment building or commercial structure

Permit fees vary based on the type and scope of construction work.
Occupancy permits are required for both owners and tenants before occupying or re-occupying any commercial space, whether it is an existing property or a newly constructed one, including firework stands. Additionally, other agencies or local governments may also require an occupancy permit to be issued.
Fire permits are required for firework displays, storing explosives and conducting live burns (such as with an air curtain destructor). A fee may apply to this type of permit.
