A building permit is an approval issued by a government agency or jurisdiction having authority (JHA) that gives permit applicants the legal authority to complete construction work.

A building or construction permit is an approval issued by the city or government agency having jurisdiction over a parcel of land. Building permits provide applicants with the legal authority to complete construction work. They are in place to help the government ensure that a structure is legal, safe, and meets code. Building permits help certify that fire hazards, structural failures, and harmful errors are avoided.

A building permit generally pertains to work that is not covered by sub-trade permits. For example, a building permit would pertain to alterations on the interior of an office building such as creating a new doorway.
