There are many reasons why getting a building permit is important. One is that it is a legal document that proves to the government and other licensed officials that the individual is following the appropriate guidelines and policies for planning and building commercial and residential structures. Another reason is that the permit contains the rules and regulations that must be followed by architects, engineers, contractors, homebuilders, electricians and plumbers to ensure the safety of the structure before, during and after its completion, as well as the safety and security of those who will be working in order to build it along with its current and future occupants. The rules and regulations to be followed may vary, depending on the country, city, or state.

What is a building permit?

A building permit is a legal document which has the necessary information about a residential and commercial structure. Alongside it, a building code is required. A building code will make sure that the design of the building or house abides with the policies and restrictions imposed by the community.

Everyone, especially those who are involved in construction and building projects, is required to follow the regulations imposed by the community where he or she is residing in or where he or she wishes to build the structure.

There are also different kinds of building permits. Some countries, communities and areas have more than three kinds of permits. There are also those that have appropriate permits for every type of structure, whether it is residential or commercial.

When is a building permit needed?

Different communities have their own policies when it comes to availing building permits. Most of the time, a building permit is needed when you plan to build a structure such as houses, dormitories, apartments, condominiums, academic institutions, commercial infrastructures, recreation centres such as parks, libraries, baseball fields and aquatic centres, supermarkets and shopping malls. Even government offices and municipalities are required to have building permits as well.

A building permit is also needed if you wish to renovate an existing structure. Whether you need to build any kind of infrastructure or extension for an establishment such as an overpass for a private school, a parking reconstruction, you are required to have a permit before construction begins. It is also needed when installing a new roof or when adding a veranda, deck or porch to a house. The same law also applies when renovating a detached building such as barns, storage shacks and sheds.

If you plan on tearing down a wall or demolishing anything, you are still required to own a building permit.
