A Madison address doesn't always mean City of Madison rules
The City of Madison sits in two counties, Madison and Limestone (Athens-Limestone Chamber). On top of that, some sites with a Madison mailing address are inside Huntsville city limits. The City of Huntsville describes one large plant site on the Greenbrier corridor, with a Madison mailing address, as being in "Huntsville-Limestone County" (City of Huntsville). So for a repair that needs a permit, or for a replacement, the first question is which city limits the parcel is in.
| If your facility is… | Office to check | What it publishes | Where to look |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inside the City of Madison (either county) | City of Madison Building Department | Commercial permit applications and an online permit portal | Building Department · Permit portal |
| Inside Huntsville city limits, even with a Madison mailing address | City of Huntsville Inspection Division | Permits for alterations and repairs; a city contractor business license is required | Huntsville permits · Contractor license search |
| Outside any city, in Madison County | Madison County Building and Fire Inspection | Commercial work needs a permit regardless of cost, including repair and replacement | Madison County FAQ |
| Outside any city, in Limestone County | Limestone County | Ask the company to confirm with the county | Limestone County |
Check the parcel's city limits, or ask the company which office it will use. The company and the office decide what applies to your job.
Ask the company which permit and license checks apply at your address.

What affects the price?

| What drives the price | Ask before you say yes |
|---|---|
| Trip or diagnostic charge | "Is there a trip charge? Does it go toward the repair?" |
| Which equipment failed | "What failed, and what exactly will you fix?" |
| Parts | "Is the part in stock? How long to get it?" |
| Access and a busy dock | "How long will the bay be out?" |
| Permit, if the job needs one | "Does this need a permit? Who pulls it, and from which office?" |
