Why do I need a permit?
Some people may think obtaining a permit means extra costs, time delays and unwarranted regulations. However, a permit ensures proper services are provided to safeguard life, health, property and public welfare. For most people, their home is their most important investment. If work is done improperly, your home can become unsafe for you and your family, and may lose value. Realtors and lenders know the law requires homeowners to have proper permits for home remodeling and construction, and often require documentation when selling a house. If work was completed without a permit, you may be required to go back for permits, inspections and additional repair work to meet minimum code standards.
