FAQ
On a single-family house, most routine work does not require a permit. You can: Paint, add or replace carpet, tile or hardwood floors, replace cabinets, and even replace paneling and drywall without a permit. Replace your windows and doors, as long as you don't change the size of the opening in the wall.
Detached accessory structures used as tool and storage sheds, playhouses or similar uses, provided the floor area does not exceed 256 square feet and is not more than one story, (under 18” floor height, under 10' eave height above grade.)
The quick and simple answer is: you usually don't need a permit if the shed is 120 square feet or less. In California, most jurisdictions have adopted the 120 square foot rule. If your shed area is larger than 120 square feet, it needs a building permit. If it's less than that, it doesn't.
Virginia: All persons engaging in contracting work must be licensed. A general contractor can be subject to sanctions and fines for hiring an unlicensed subcontractor. In cases of fraud or misrepresentation, a contractor may also face criminal prosecution.
To file a lawsuit against the contractor, a person would need to prepare a complaint. Filing the complaint with the clerk of the court and serving the complaint and a summons on the defendant contractor officially begins a lawsuit. A person would have to select the court in which to sue.
If you drive a motor vehicle in Virginia and you are not validly licensed, you could be charged under § 46.2-300. This statute punishes those who do not have a valid license at all, not those who merely do not have their license in their possession at the time of the traffic stop.
