Can I make an addition on my home without getting a permit?
<|assistant|>
In some cases, it may be possible to make a small addition to a home without obtaining a permit. However, it is best to check with your local building officials before beginning any project as permit requirements and allowed exemptions can vary by location. Generally, any addition or alteration that requires the construction of a wall, installation of structural elements or plumbing, or involves electrical work will require a permit.
