Building permits are part of the law, and if you fail to get one when you need one you are breaking the law. If you don’t get a home renovation permit, you are risking fines and could be required to reverse the changes you made to the house or other structure.
If you make changes to your building that violate other, serious laws, like the fire code, you may also be responsible for more fines and penalties. In part, the building permit system is intended to help guide you to make safe decisions for your property. If you apply for a permit and your plans will violate the fire code, the municipality will often let you know.
Your contracting company should be aware of all of these permits and should be willing to take care of the process for you. That’s just another reason to work with a professional company that will make the renovation process so much easier.
