hometips.gregvan.com Sometimes contractors don’t pull building permits and some homeowners don’t know better. If you’re a contractor, homeowner or even a property owner who has had work done to their home or buildings, with out pulling building permits, don’t panic. Most building inspectors and building and safety representatives aren’t your enemy, they’re your friends. They’re just looking out for your best interest and I would advise you to do as they say. If they want you to fix something, do it. If you are caught doing work to your home that requires a building permit, you will need to get the correct building permit for your project in order to start moving forward. Remember that you need building permits to change out your windows, remodel your kitchen and to build a room addition.
