In an effort to provide prompt and courteous customer service, the City of Sunrise Building Department is now accepting "stand alone" trade permits by fax. If you are a City-registered contractor, the Building Department can process your faxed permit application - usually within two working days.
To qualify as a stand alone trade permit, no plans are required to be submitted for approval and there is no primary permit on file.
