Permits


Permits are needed to allow any major work to be performed. If you are planning on building a structure or adding on to the one you already own, you will need permits that show you are allowed to continue on with the work.

Permits are normally obtained through your county and can be received for many home projects without a contracting license. You will need permits to install a pool, a fence, or even a screened in porch or shed. You will be asked to give a set a blueprints or a design showing the work you are planning on completing and a detailed time frame for delivery.

Contracting Permits

Contracting permits are obtained by licensed contractors and can not be given to the ordinary home owner for home improvement projects. Contractor’s permits are needed for building a structure, doing any electrical or plumbing work and in most cases, when you hire a contractor, they will obtain the permits as part of the agreement.
