GETTING A BUILDING PERMIT
Building codes are established by most
cities, towns, and counties and may vary considerably from one jurisdiction
to another. Your contract should state that the work is performed
in accordance with all applicable building codes and zoning regulations
in the area where you reside.
A building permit is generally required when
performing structural work or when a home’s basic living area
is changed. Separate permits for electrical, heating, or plumbing
work are required in some cases. Check with your local department
of licensing and permits when starting a job to learn if a building
or work permit is required.

If the project does, in fact, require a building
permit, the contractor should apply for it in his or her name. Thus,
if the contractor's work does not pass inspection, you cannot be held
financially responsible for any corrections that must be made. Terms
regarding the application of any permits should be outlined in the
written contract.
When a government agency issues a permit for
home improvement work, it will inspect the work when that work has
reached a certain stage to make sure it complies with various codes
and regulations. It is the responsibility of the contractor to arrange
for these inspections.
