Let’s Talk Real Estate! “PROJECTS REQUIRING PERMITS” August 19, 2026

Many people are wary of permits. We see them as both cost and functional barriers to moving our home improvement projects forward. Remember, though, that permits help keep our homes safe and up to code. You may trust your own handy work as a homeowner, but as a homebuyer, you want to know the previous owner made their renovations according to rules that were meant to keep your family safe. As a homeowner, a permit still allows you to do many projects yourself, but with the added protection of a final inspection with the paperwork on file to prove it. Permitting requirments vary by city and county, but generally, projects that potentially affect public or personal safety require a permit.

Preparation is key when putting your house on the market, from performing long put off maintenance to updating antiquated interiors. This is where correctly permitted projects work in your favor because the more effort you make to keep your home in pristine condition, the more you’ll increase your chances of attracting serious buyers willing to pay top dollar. Preparation also includes choosing the real estate agent most qualified to represent you in your real estate transaction. Full service with high standards of excellence are the cornerstone of our agency.
