Subject: Question regarding filing exemption - Carmel IN bank branch renovation
Hello – I am working on a minor interior renovation for FORUM Credit union in Carmel, Indiana. We have determined that
the scope falls under requirements for a State Design Release. However, the local permit office in Carmel is requiring a
written statement from the state. How do we go about receiving that?
Happy to share construction documents for review if required.
Thank you!
