Permit for bathroom & kitchen?

[Carlos Alvarez]

Hi BP'ers:

We are a property that will be getting a remolded bathroom and kitchen. The work on the bathroom includes counter tops, new cabinets, lights, new tile on the floor and in the shower enclosure. The work on the kitchen includes new tiles on floor, cabinets, countertops, new sinks, faucets, and new appliances.

Are we correct to assume that no permit is needed? We are doing this work ourselves.

Secondly, what could happen if work is done whichneeds a permit, such as changing air conditioning units and ducts, when reselling the home to a new owner? Could it cause a problem?
