What Permits Do I Need for Home Additions?

Why Permits Matter

You may be wondering the importance of permits when you’re simply readjusting your own home, which is on your lot.

Well, permits are simply government regulation safety initiatives that focus on ensuring the integrity of the property is not compromised for the safety of the people working on it and the occupants.

And as long as you’re making significant changes to your property, you need to obtain the proper permits. And proper inspections both during the construction process and after the project is completed.

While there are so many permits available for building projects, different factors such as your location, size, and type of addition will determine the permitting to get.

Besides the general permitting that allows you and your contractor to build an addition, you may also need other special permits such as:

• Electrical permits
• Plumbing permits
• HVAC permits
• Plan review permit
• Zoning permit
• And the post-construction inspections

So, make sure you know all about the needed permits to have a smooth build.
