Selective Interior Demolition in Gargatha, VA

Do I need a permit for interior demolition?

Most cities require permits for interior demolition just as they would for exterior demolition. These can typically be acquired at your local Buildings Department and are just a way to acknowledge that you will shut off all the utilities, ensure there is no water running to the renovated area, and notify neighbors of the upcoming project. Once you’ve received your permit, it’s always advised that you post it on your front door. That way, any passing neighbors are aware that whatever work going on inside is entirely legal. If you're hiring a contractor to handle your demo, then it's likely they'll get the necessary permit(s) for you, but don't assume. Always be sure to discuss acquiring permits with them.
