Are building permits required for a kitchen remodel? I’ll be relocating power outlets and some plumbing as part of it.

If you plan on moving power, plumbing, walls, or heating/air conditioning (HVAC) then a permit is required. It wouldn’t be required if you are just painting, replacing cabinets, countertops, etc.

When you apply for a permit, do you have to specify a timeline? How much does a permit cost?

I'm interested in finishing my basement. It looks like I'll need to cut into the load-bearing wall. Is a standard contractor authorized to do that or must that be done by a structural engineer?

Can we add a small kitchen to our basement so one of our children can use our downstairs as an apartment?

Do we have to apply for a permit to finish our basement? I thought I saw that a contractor and an architect have to sign it off.
