Course 13 - Permitting

Most owners treat the permit process like a formality that someone else handles. It is not a formality. It is the legal record that your home was built correctly, and without it there is no clean title, no insurance protection, and no clear path to resale.

This course teaches you what a building permit actually is and what it protects, what gets submitted and who is responsible for submitting it, how long permitting actually takes including the municipal variables that affect your schedule, and what the real consequences of unpermitted work look like for owners who find out the hard way. Always verify specific requirements with your local building municipality.
