How permitting works in Indiana
Indiana cities act as the local administrative arm for code enforcement. While the city issues the physical permit, its role is restricted by the state for commercial projects; the city cannot grant a permit until the state's fire and building safety division has officially released the project plans.
State adopts; locals must enforce via ordinance.
