My business needs to install equipment that requires venting. Do I need a permit for my air exhaust?
Public Health, fire or building and zoning departments may require permits. Any process creating or venting an air contaminate should be considered for a permit from Public Health. Contaminates include both particles and gases. There are a number of exemptions such as mobile sources, residential heating, lab vents, and similar small sources that aren’t associated with any production or manufacturing. Please refer to our code section 10.5 “Locally Required Permits”. If you are unsure as to the need for an air permit, the best answer is to contact our office by telephone at (319) 892-6000. Someone in the Air Quality section will be able to assess your need regarding the permit requirements
