Why Do I Need a Permit?

The purpose of a permit (e.g. building permit) is to ensure your construction project meets City codes. This compliance protects you in several ways. By following the code(s), your project will meet minimum standards of safety. Property insurers may only cover work done with a valid permit. If you decide to sell your property, a permit will assure buyers the standards of your work. And, in the case of a lawsuit, a property owner can show that code requirements were strictly met when working with a permit.
