The luxury home building contractor in Bend, OR, has compiled details on residential building permits and tips on how to avoid common pitfalls so that your construction can be completed without road bumps.

Why You Shouldn't Take Shortcuts With Permits

If you're building your first home, permits can seem unnecessarily complicated and costly, making it tempting to skip them, especially in rural areas around Bend, where you probably don't have nosy neighbors to tattletale. However, this can lead to safety issues, compromise your property's value, and cause fines or even demolition orders.

“By understanding the importance of permits, you can see why they are essential for your home construction project. They protect you, your investment, and the community, ensuring your new home is safe, legal, and valuable,” a company spokesperson said.

Do Your Research

As pointed out by the Oregon State Construction Contractors Board, most construction projects proceed smoothly as long as consumers do their research. Some tips include hiring a general contractor to avoid project management responsibilities, ensuring that the right permits have been obtained, and choosing a reputable contractor.

Local Expert Helps You Avoid Common Mistakes

Many areas have unique codes and zoning laws that can make you feel overwhelmed. Additionally, some permits have expiration dates to keep track of, adding to the stress. The team at Mountain High Builders has long local experience and is available to assist in applying for the right permits.
