1. Permits are not transferable.

A responsible person or mechanical professional licensed by the State of Iowa Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board as a "Master" may sign and obtain a permit for the contractor for which they are employed only when said responsible person or "Master" has provided proof of employment or written confirmation by said licensed contractor. Any permit required by the provisions of this code may be revoked by the Code Official upon the violation of any provision of this code.
2. A State of Iowa licensed Mechanical contractor shall be allowed only to secure permits for himself or herself, or for a single firm or corporation.

3. For purposes of this section, an "employee" shall be one employed by the contractor, firm or corporation for a wage or salary. A contractor may be required by the Code Official to show positive evidence as to the employee status of workers on the job. Such evidence shall be in the form of payroll and time records, canceled checks, or other such documents.
4. The contractor may also be required to show the agreement or contract pertaining to the work being questioned as evidence that said contractor is, in fact, the actual contractor for such work.
