A building permit is an official approval issued by a local government that allows a property owner to construct, renovate, or demolish a structure. This permit ensures that the proposed work complies with local building codes, zoning laws, and safety regulations. Obtaining a building permit is essential to ensure that the construction meets safety standards and is legally recognized. Before starting any construction project, property owners must submit plans and specifications to the relevant authorities. The review process may involve inspections and consultations with professionals, such as architects or engineers. Once approved, the building permit must be displayed on the construction site until the project is completed.
