Can I Pull Permits As A Homeowner?

Home Love Construction is a company that provides homeowner permitting services for renovation projects. The owner of the company, Brad, receives a decent amount of questions about whether homeowners can obtain a permit for their renovation projects. In most cases, the answer is yes, but there are some restrictions to consider. For example, in the state of Florida, a homeowner’s permit can only be obtained for a primary residence. If a homeowner owns multiple properties, including rentals, they can only obtain a permit for their primary residence. This is the property that is claimed on their tax records as their primary residence.

If a homeowner wants to obtain a permit for their rental properties, they must hire someone else to do it. This is because the county will not legally allow homeowners to pull a permit and do the work themselves on their rental properties unless they are licensed contractors. In such cases, they can hire their own construction company to handle the permitting and the work.

To avoid the hassle of obtaining a permit, many homeowners hire a general contractor to handle the permitting process. The general contractor will make sure that the work is done according to building codes and that the workers are licensed and have liability policies and workman’s compensation. Home Love Construction offers this service as well. If a homeowner needs help obtaining a permit, they can visit the company’s website and fill out a contact form to receive a quote. The company’s permitting services will make sure that everything is legal and safe.
