permit office
Authorization issuing location
A permit office is a government office where people apply for and obtain official permits—documents authorizing specific activities like building construction, business operation, or parking.
The term appears most often in contexts involving bureaucratic processes: I spent half the day at the permit office getting my contractor's license.
