- Trade permits: When trade permits are submitted, please make sure they are signed. If a contractor is filling out the permit, please include the business name. When a contractor applies for a permit, a contractor license number is required as well as a master license number (two different numbers). If a homeowner is pulling their own trade permit, their name should be the only one on the permit.
