Do I need a permit for a conversion?

Last Updated June 24, 2026

It depends on the type of conversion and your city regulations. You will need a permit to convert an unfinished attic, basement, or garage to a living space. You may also need electrical, plumbing, or mechanical permits depending on your project scope. Neil Kelly Project Managers handle all necessary permits.
