Building permits are usually required before constructing, enlarging, altering or changing the use of a building. The responsible authority may be a municipality, regional district, territorial government or another local building authority.
Requirements vary by location and project type. Before starting work, confirm zoning, applicable-law approvals, required drawings, permit fees and inspection stages with the authority serving the property.
