permit required
Must have approval
Permit required indicates that official authorization must be obtained before an activity is allowed.
The phrase appears on signs and in regulations where certain actions—parking, camping, fishing, construction—are restricted to those who have secured the necessary permit: Permit required for overnight parking.
It signals that proceeding without documentation may result in fines or penalties.
