Licensing and permits in Indiana

Gardening and lawn/garden maintenance generally doesn't require a state or provincial trade license in the US or Canada; reputable gardeners still carry general liability insurance, and separate pesticide-applicator licensing applies only if chemical treatments are involved.

Residential building permits in Indiana are issued locally — by the city/town building department if the property is inside municipal limits, or by the county building department in unincorporated areas — not by a state agency. In Fort Wayne, permits come from the Allen County Building Department (issues City of Fort Wayne + Allen County residential building permits).

Tax: Labor is generally NOT taxable when separately stated from materials — repair/installation labor billed as its own line item is exempt; if a contractor bills a lump sum for materials + labor on a real-property improvement it's treated as one nontaxable improvement service, but materials sold on a time-and-materials basis are taxable.
