<p class="MsoNoSpacing">In order to ensure a smooth process for our customers during their busiest building and outdoor recreational seasons, DOPL has made this decision to minimize any potential disruptions for permitting, licensure, or inspections. Trade
Permits will continue to be purchased in the existing system through October 31, 2024.<o:p></o:p></p>
