Can I make an addition on my home without getting a permit?
<|assistant|>
In most cases, adding on to your home does require a building permit. However, small additions like an attic bedroom or a porch may not require a permit, as long as the size of the addition doesn’t exceed local building codes and standards. You should check with your local government to find out which additions require a permit.
