WHEN ARE PERMITS REQUIRED?

Flipping houses in Indianapolis comes with all sorts of issues and questions. When it comes to permitting, the city has lots of different requirements and stipulations on when you need a permit, what kind of permit you need, and who can pull those permits. Sometimes the homeowner or (investor) can pull the permits. Sometimes the investor is better off, letting the contractor pull all the permitting. In this video will go through some of the normal types of projects that do, or do not require permits. Of course, it's always best to be upfront and honest and sometimes you can just ask the city for advice on when you need to pull a permit. Hopefully the contractor you have selected also has a good understanding of when you do or do not need a permit.
