Does soil removal need to happen before or after a demolition permit is issued?

Genuinely, after — demolition needs its own permit and must be completed first, since bulk soil removal and excavation follow demolition on a knockdown rebuild site, not the reverse.

Your builder or project manager sequences these stages correctly as part of the overall program, so this ordering is handled for you rather than something you need to manage directly.
