Reviewing, calling, or visiting your city, county, and/or state building codes and permitting office will be your best bet. There can be differences in permitting requirements, materials and methods, inspections, etc. Ask yourself, are you significantly changing the structure, electrical, plumbing, or other features of the house? If yes, then most likely yes. If no, then check again. You may get away with a DIY home repair or "upgrade" without a permit, not using a licensed professional, or using materials and methods that dont adhere to code for a while. Because unless you're doing something to the exterior or your neighbor squells on you, then code enforcement isn't going to know. But when you try to sell your house or if there is an issue like your house burned down, then you're going to be in a difficult situation.

Thank you!

I just put a transition piece there. You can buy them but I just made my own

​@@JayLupeEuropeans think that because Americans build houses out of wood, that stuff that regularly grows to towering heights, that they are flimsy. No one tell them that wood is a renewable resource or else they might be upset when they're mandated to start using it too 😊

@@chrisconnell8523 aaah okay, im american but ive always wondered why mostly everybody here(usa) builds their homes out of wood also. Ive always said im gonna use concrete poured block walls for mine, alot more sturdy.

If done correctly, wood is just fine
