Building Permits - A Necessary Part of Any Remodeling
August 31, 2011
Gone are the days of Do-It-Yourself. Well, not really as many adds use the initials DIY when advertising building supplies. However, governments have stepped into the remodeling arena in a very big way. For almost any changes made to a home's electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, roofing or structure, a permit is required.
Now when a lender appraises a property copies of permits may be one of the conditions for obtaining financing.
It is important that a homeowner check with the local building authorities and check out the requirements. If using a contractor, make permitting the work part of the contractor's bid.
The rule of thumb is: Anything that can fall on a person or harm a person in any way should have a permit and the appropriate inspections as the work progresses.
You will be glad that you followed the rules!
