First things first!
Q: Should I Always Get a Permit before Making Home Improvements?
A:
To save both time and money, some people avoid getting building
permits. But most cities require them. Tooele certainly does.
Besides ensuring safety during
construction – city housing inspectors sometimes stop by the job to check on the
progress of projects at key points – permits are also a source of revenue.
Cities charge a fee when a building
permit is issued. Also, work done with a building permit can result in
an increase in the homeowners’ property taxes because, in general, a
home improvement increases the assessed value of the property.
Permits are usually required when any structural work is planned or
the basic living space of a home is altered. They generally cover new
construction, repairs, alterations, demolition, and additions to a
structure. Some jurisdictions require the permit to be posted in a
visible spot on the premises while the work is being done.
Besides structural changes, permits also may be needed to cover the
installation of foundations for tanks and equipment, as well as the
construction or demolition of ducts, sprinkler systems, or standpipe
systems.
By law, all buildings must have a building permit and a certificate of occupancy before the improvements can be used (occupied).
