Building Permits
 
I am planning to rehab my interior of the house. I want to knock out a non-load bearing wall, add some ceiling fans, and install a couple new electrical outlets. All of this work is "interior" within the home. I and my handy man friend will be doing the work.

Do I need to get county building permits for this work?

I had heard that permits and inspection were only needed for "exterior" work or additions to exterior.

I appreciate any assistance you can offer. Thanks. :police:

Call the building department and ask them. I wouldn't take anyone's answer as gospel on a community website! If you don't get proper permitting, as necessary, and have a fire or other issues, your insurance company may not pay the claim. Find out first hand from the proper source to your satisfaction.

NEVER _ NEVER _ NEVER ..... NEVER have any work done (inside or outside) before checking with the building department about needing a building permit - and - NEVER apply, pay for or get the permit yourself for anyone else to do the work! (Did I mention NEVER?

Jim Wilson knows what he is talking about..Fooling with a bearing wall needs permits if you want to keep living there.

It's called a bearing wall for a reason! Hope you know what you are doing!

The OP said NON-load bearing.

Just wanted to make sure you've thought this through. How will you patch the flooring where the wall is now? Are you 100% certain that there are no wires, water, or vent lines in that wall?
