What's a Building Permit?
A building permit gives you legal permission to start construction of a building project in accordance with approved drawings and specifications.
Why do you need a Permit?
Your home or business is an investment. If your construction project does not comply with the codes adopted by your community, the value of your investment could be reduced. Property insurers may not cover work done without permits and inspections. If you decide to sell a home or building that has had modifications without a permit, you may be required to tear down the addition, leave it unoccupied, or make costly repairs.
When do you need a Permit?
New buildings, additions, and major renovations all require a building permit before you get started. Any electrical, plumbing or HVAC systems work also requires a building permit. See a more complete list below. If your project is not listed, call us to find out whether your project needs a permit.
