Do I need a building permit to finish my basement?
Yes. A building permit is required for most remodeling that includes plumbing, electrical work and for numerous types of outside structures like decks, retaining walls and accessory buildings. Failure to obtain a permit could be a dangerous and costly oversight that increases your risk of fire, structure failure and property damage to you and your neighbors. If you have any questions about whether or not you need a permit, please contact the North Salt Lake Building Department at (801)335-8721.
