PERMIT PLANNING
Usually cosmetic work
Usually a finish-only scope when the structure, room use and utilities stay unchanged. This is a starting classification, not an address-specific exemption; confirm any related regulated work before starting.
- Opening walls or changing structural support
- Moving or adding wiring, plumbing or ventilation
- Historic exterior restrictions or regulated-material removal
ENGINEERING & DESIGN
Engineering is not usually needed
Engineering is not usually part of this finish-only scope. Stop for review if hidden damage, structural changes or unusual support loads are found.
- New structural work or damaged framing
- Unverified heavy-load support
Confirm requirements with the city or county responsible for the property before work begins. The address, exact scope and adopted code determine the final requirements.
