As more residents dive into summer home projects, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of upgrades and improvements. Before any work begins, whether it’s a repair, an overhaul or a new addition, take a moment to make sure the right permits are in place. Permits ensure that the work meets safety standards and protects your investment.
If you’re hiring a contractor, always ask to see the approved permit before work begins. Verifying permits up front can help you avoid costly issues later, especially when selling your home or filing an insurance claim. Missing permits or skipped inspections often lead to delays, unexpected expenses or required rework. For more information, visit blm.mn/permits.
