Code enforcement intervention is a common inconvenience. Even small changes such as changing the location of your appliances require the prior approval from the local Planning and Building Department. In many cases, and it is usually because of the shortage of information, homeowners remodel their homes without the proper permit, and it is not until a City inspector shows up at their door and explains the situation, that they realize that there is a process to follow regarding this matter.

You may receive a letter from the Building Department, in which your remodel or addition is referred to as a ‘Code Violation’. A time limit is issued, and during this period of time you are required to either bring your house back to its original condition, or obtain all necessary permits for your new construction.

At URBANA, our quick response and intervention helps you through the process of doing what is required to get your construction permitted and approved.

Obtaining a permit for an addition or a house remodel will bring you piece of mind by not worrying about an inspector questioning you about changes done to your home. It also will update property records and you will see a gained value of the cost of your house.
