Permits required to fininsh an attic.
Think to the future too.
Finish my basement or attic do i need a permit.
She was very concerned about the situation as she had no idea whether completing the attic required a permit or not as now the attic is almost completed including electrical work dry wall floors and ceilings.
A permit keeps you and the contractor honest and should ensure that the modifications are up to code.
With the idea that the homeowner could later on finish the space.
In most cases though the joists cannot support live loads and may not even be covered with boards.
In my opinion you should always get a permit.
At some point you ll want to sell this house buyers will want to know that the new addition is legal.
Before finishing an attic get the necessary permits from your local housing commission so you don t get in trouble later on if you try to sell your house.
Once you have a permit install subfloor panels over the floor joists so you can lay down flooring.
