So unfortunately, I couldn't really ask. I know townships all differ, but I think some of this might be common. Also, I'd like to do some things the day after we close. So... would I need permits to:
- switch all the doors and add screen/storm doors
- rip out carpets
- refinish floors
There are other things I want to do, but I'm positive those would need permits.
Thanks!!!  I'm just so excited to move in already and this waiting period is a killer! |
I am pretty sure you don't need a permit for those things although I will say that if your house is older than the 1980's you may want to get the paint on the doors and the finish on the floor tested for lead before you begin working
there are specific things you need to do in those situations
