What is the difference between a demolition permit and a building permit?

Demolition and building permits serve distinct purposes in the construction process:
A *demolition permit* authorizes the tearing down or removal of an existing structure. It ensures that the demolition is performed safely and complies with local regulations.
A *building permit* is required for new construction, additions, renovations, or alterations to existing structures. It ensures that the new work meets building codes and safety standards.
Both permits are typically issued by the local building department and may involve inspections at various stages of the project.
