Building Permit Guide
Navigate the permit process with confidence. Know what you need before you build.
⚠️ Permit requirements vary by city and county. Always verify with your local building department before starting work.
Do I Need a Permit?
Permit Cost Ranges
Residential Addition$500–$2,000
New Construction$1,000–$5,000+
Electrical Panel Upgrade$75–$300
Plumbing Remodel$100–$500
Deck / Patio$100–$1,000
Swimming Pool$200–$1,500
HVAC Replacement$50–$200
The Permit Process — Step by Step
1
Determine if a Permit is Required
Use the checker above or contact your local building department. Most structural, electrical, and plumbing work requires a permit. Cosmetic changes typically do not.
2
Prepare Your Plans & Documents
Most permits require site plans, construction drawings, and property surveys. For complex projects, hire a licensed architect or engineer to prepare stamped drawings.
3
Submit Your Application
Apply online through your municipality's portal or in person at the building department. Pay the required fee. Processing times range from same-day to 6+ weeks depending on project complexity.
4
Schedule Inspections
Post the permit on your job site. Inspections occur at key milestones: foundation, framing, rough-in (electrical/plumbing), and final. Never cover work before inspection.
5
Receive Certificate of Occupancy
After final inspection approval, you'll receive a CO or sign-off. This is critical for insurance coverage and future resale of the property.

Case #DSP-2026-0441
Kitchen Remodel · $14,250 in dispute
Homeowner claims framing work fails inspection. Contractor disputes scope interpretation. $14,250 milestone held in escrow pending resolution.
June 20 — Dispute filed by homeowner Sarah M.
June 22 — Contractor response submitted
June 24 — AI Mediator assigned · Evidence collection open
Pending — Mediation session scheduled
Pending — Final ruling & fund release
Case #DSP-2026-0438
Roof Replacement · $8,900 in dispute
Contractor abandoned job after partial payment. Homeowner requests refund of $8,900 deposit. Background check flagged 1 prior civil dispute.
Case #DSP-2026-0429
HVAC Install · $3,200 in dispute
AI Mediator reviewed evidence and photos. Ruled 70/30 split in favor of contractor. $2,240 released; $960 refunded to homeowner. Both parties accepted.
🤖 AI Mediation Chat — Case #0441
🤖 AI Mediator: I've reviewed the contract scope, inspection report, and both parties' submissions. The framing work meets code (IRC R602.3) but the contract specified "engineered lumber" — contractor used standard SPF. This is a scope ambiguity, not a defect.
🏠 Sarah M. (Homeowner): The contractor never disclosed the lumber substitution. I specifically asked for engineered lumber per the original SOW.
🔨 Iron Mike: Standard SPF meets all code requirements. Engineered lumber wasn't specified as mandatory — it was a budget option. We saved the client $1,200 by using SPF.
🤖 AI Mediator: Based on contract clause 4.2 (material substitutions require written approval), and the homeowner's documented preference, I recommend: contractor completes a change order credit of $800 to cover price differential. Milestone released upon signed agreement. Does this resolution work for both parties?
