I moved into an old house about 10 years ago and have been wanting to remodel the whole place ever since. One of the worst rooms in the house is our bathroom. It's seen better days, and is due for a heavy remodel. We originally got a new sink and toilet installed when we got the place, but never got a permit back in those days to do so. But I've been getting some pushback from my father lately letting me know I should look into getting a permit if I'm going to be replacing every fixture in the room. Which is what I want to do eventually, replace all of the fixtures as I'm tired of the look of it all.
The bathroom itself is fine otherwise, but our tub is cracking to the point we are very worried about mold buildup and the floor one day collapsing because of it. Probably will need a permit to fix the floor at some point, but we're hoping the damage isn't bad enough to where we can still install a new tub, sink, toilet etc. I also want to install a new vanity mirror, so I have extra storage.
Would replacing fixtures itself require you to get a permit? Or could you buy and install all of it without needing a permit? I realize if I do any construction it might require a permit, but I might wait on the construction side unless the damage is so bad. Any tips and suggestions?
