Sat dishes (resi) basically go the way of cable & telco. They are considered a 'utility', up to the demarc, but there is no 'push' on SFDs.

The exception arises in multi family dwellings and rated walls/ceilings. Multi family require a permit & inspections.

Dishes on comm have a >18" diameter permit required & it's a tough enforcement.

I just received an email regarding the State Lottery & sat dishes they have a contractor installing. Basically it says that if rated walls/ceilings are penetrated, inspections are required & they fessed up that a lot are already completed w/o permits. Another trunk slammer to chase??
