Before starting any major remodeling project, you have to ensure that you have a permit. These permits guarantee that the project is done according to the proper guidelines highlighted by your local building authority. A Remodeling Company would take care of the permits, but if you decide to do it alone, some primary stages of the process include:
Permit Application
Applying for a permit can be done manually through hard copy documents or online. The process involves sharing the project’s blueprint with the authorities for their approval. This may take a few days, depending on your city.
Pay the fee
Permits are not free and you have to budget for them in advance depending on the project. They can range from just a few dollars to a few hundred dollars, depending on the scale of the remodeling.
PLace in Plain View
Once your plans have been approved and you get the permit, you should frame it in a public area in easy view of any relevant authorities. You can stick the document on one of the windows or on a door frame.
Find out when inspections are Required
