I was just wondering if other people in other states who have customer's that are trying to do repairs and/or who have advised their customers (not short-sales or foreclosure issues) that some minor repairs would help them sell.

I have found that hiring a licensed contractor (who is going to do repair's correctly) is a good thing...

However, most condo's require any changes to the unit require a builder's permit...even if it's only changing a counter top.  This requires lot's of expense and lot's of contractor time.

I'm not sure how all this work's however, if there are some contractor's out there who can enlighten me, and/or agents...please do tell.

What if, I decided to go buy some tiles and put it over my old formica...Do I need a building contract for that...if I do, you have to be kidding. This is a facetious situation and I don't own a condo, however, if I did own a condo, and I decided to try and put a new surface on my counter-top's in my kitchen...I would need a "building permit"...I'm not building,  I'm putting tile on something that is already there.

I'm not tearing down a wall, I'm not putting in new cabinets...I'm a novice trying to make my own kitchen look better...or for that matter...a novice, maybe worse.

What type of construction, changes to a condo requires a building permit... I live in Florida...However, I would like opinion's from all as to what constitites...construction...

Pasting down tile...in my opinion is not construction, or is it?

Please give me some help here.
