Is a building permit required for a finished basement?
Yes. Over the years the need for additional space has made homeowners look to finish their basements for storage, media craft or playrooms. Some people have even places beds in their basements. Egress or lack of means of exit from your basement can be fatal. Other concerns besides egress are light and ventilation. If electric and plumbing were installed, were they done to code? Building permits are required for these reasons.
