Much like kitchens, even simple projects require a permit. As a general rule, if you are updating plumbing and electrical, or changing the layout and framing in a bathroom (whether it is a powder bath addition, a simple pull and replace, or a master bath remodel) a permit should be obtained.
Unless you are in a historic district, the following work does not require a DC building permit: Brick pointing caulking, patching, and plaster repair, installation of cabinets and architectural millwork, installation of window screens and storm windows, repair of existing fences with ‘like’ materials, retaining walls 18″ (0.46m) or less in height, construction of garden storage sheds complying with DC Code Section 105.2.6, painting (but not painting with fire-retardant paint), replacement of non-rated windows & doors, siding, gutters & downspouts, private sidewalks & driveways, patios, non-rated suspended ceiling tile, floor coverings up to 160 SF (9.3m) of gypsum board, duct work of up to 10 linear feet (3.05m) in non-hazardous and commercial kitchen exhaust systems. Information on permits in historic districts.
When deciding to hire a Permit Expeditor for an upcoming project, ask yourself the following questions. Is the project located in a large jurisdiction? Am I going to be too busy to follow-up regularly throughout the review process? Is the project going to be large in scope? Will I have time to verify that what I see online is correct? If you answer yes to the previous questions, we recommend that you leave the permitting process in the hands of a qualified expert.
