In most towns the deposit does not come back by itself: someone has to request the final inspection, then ask for the refund. A deposit still held 30 days after the job's work is finished (the date on the job) is listed here first and joins the daily alerts. Record the deposit on the permit; Permora never pays or collects it.

Permora records the deposits you tell it about and reminds you to get them back. It never contacts an authority, requests an inspection for you, or moves money.
