Do you need a permit for that?
Pick your project and city to see whether a building permit is required — with the verdict sourced from the official building department and dated, so you can act on it.
How this works
Every answer starts from the general permit rule (the International Residential Code baseline). Where we have verified a city’s own rule from its official building department, we show that instead — clearly labeled and linked to the source, with the date we checked it. We never state a local rule without a link to the official source.
