If you’re thinking about remodeling your home but want to avoid the hassle of obtaining permits yourself, Olivo Remodeling is here to help. Even if you hire a licensed contractor who should know which projects require permits, it’s a good idea to double-check with your local city and county. Since there are no federal or state standards, and ordinances can vary from one city to another, the best way to find out which codes apply is to visit your city’s website or give them a call.
Keep in mind that the cost of a permit can be as much as 1% of your total project budget and it may take up to six weeks to get inspected. While it might be tempting to skip this step, the National Association of Realtors warns that it could lead to problems when you want to sell your home. Inspectors and appraisers will want to see that you have the proper permits on file, and buyers might not be able to secure a loan if the remodeling wasn’t permitted.
Many common projects require permits to ensure public and personal safety, especially those involving plumbing, electrical work, and natural gas. As safety codes evolve and municipalities seek more revenue, additional items are being added to the list of projects that require permits.
