Does my building permit cover the electrical and plumbing work?

No, contractors are required to obtain permits from the State of South Dakota. Regional inspectors will perform inspections and attach stickers showing the work was completed. City Inspectors will verify electrical and plumbing work has been completed correctly with these stickers.
