When it comes to permits, clarity is key. While contractors often handle permits for major projects, it’s ultimately the homeowner’s responsibility to ensure they’re in place. Key considerations:
- Who applies for the permit? Confirm this in your contract.
- Communication: Stay involved to avoid delays or missed steps.
- DIY Projects: If you’re doing the work yourself, you’ll likely need to apply for permits directly.
Avoid surprises by discussing permit responsibilities upfront.
