Apply for a building permit
Prior to constructing a new building or structure or the commencement of a renovation project, you should investigate if a building permit is required. Whether you are finishing your basement, building a shed, constructing a deck, erecting a tent or installing private pool, etc. you may need a building permit.
Building permits give legal permission to construct, demolish or renovate on a property. Constructing without a building permit may result in construction delays and deficiencies, and the removal of work completed.
