It is extremely common for renovations of all kinds to have been completed years ago without the required permits. Missing permits can be a major issue when trying to sell a house. Unfortunately, whoever owns the home at the time is responsible for legalizing the renovation or structure, even the work was done years ago. The process needed for most legalizations includes a new survey, architectural plans, plumbing permit, electrical underwriters certificate, architect’s letter, and more. Captain Permit offers comprehensive solutions to legalize any renovation or structure with no existing permit.

Electric and plumbing permits are obtained once a building permit has been issued. This goes for both proposed work as well as maintenance. Captain Permit has an exceptional team of plumbers and electricians we can refer to our clients regardless of their situation or reason.
