Often, we’re asked if we’ll forgo getting a building permit for a basement finish. There are three misconceptions that fuel this question.
- Permits are expensive: For most basements a permit costs a couple of hundred dollars not cost-free but not crazy expensive either.
- They’re not necessary: Every city requires a building permit for basement construction. Permits are intended to insure that proper building materials and procedures are used and followed on your basement.
- They’re not helpful: Having an unbiased inspector look at your basement for safety code violations is both helpful and comforting. Most home fires are a result of poor wiring. Don’t take a change make sure that your basement is inspected and safe.
