我在看San Jose的building permit的网站，关于over-the-counter permit：https://www.sanjoseca.gov/business/development-services-permit-center/permit-services-virtual-appointments/over-the-counter-permit-service

1. 里面写Single-story remodeling ≤ 750 sf and no changes to structural walls，所以如果是全屋装修肯定大于750sqft啊，那么就不可以用这个permit了吗？有人建议我现在就去申请这个permit可是我好像不符合这一条啊。
2. 还有checklist里面写Building Permit Application completed and signed by the applicant. We highly recommend that the contractor pull the permit as whoever pulls the permit bears the liability for the construction work. 大家都是自己申请还是general contractor申请？这个liability具体指的是什么呢？如果自己申请有什么风险？如果GC申请，通常要多花多少钱？

谢谢有经验的大拿帮我看看吧！
