These permits are not transferrable. • If you receive an invoice for a project that is already closed out, you are not required to pay the annual permit fee for the upcoming year as long as the e-NOT form is submitted within 30 days of the invoice date. • Paper copies of the NOT Certification mailed in should always have original wet-ink signature (not digital).
