Decision — first matching row wins
| # | When | Permit | Type | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | supports_equipment is yes | conditional | Often covered by the equipment's own mechanical/electrical permit | A small equipment pad poured as part of an HVAC change-out or generator install is typically covered under that trade permit, not a stand-alone building permit — but a pad poured well ahead of the equipment install, on spec, may need its own review. Reviewer to confirm per authority. |
| 2 | otherwise | conditional | Often exempt as flatwork; a shed pad may be swept into the shed's own permit | A stand-alone slab with no structure and no equipment on it is commonly treated like driveway/patio flatwork (see that job type) — exempt in some authorities, permitted in others above a size threshold. A pad specifically for a shed follows that shed's own permit requirement (see Shed). |
