Q. I had two sets of concrete steps with a concrete slab in between. The steps were in extremely bad shape so they were jack hammered out and are to be replaced by precast concrete steps with railings. All of a sudden there is now mention of possibly needing a building permit. Does one generally need a building permit to install precast steps?
A. All city and town building codes are a little different. You would have to check with your local building code enforcement officer to get the answer to your question. I know in my town if you're installing something considered permanent, like concrete, and it's over a certain dollar amount ($1500.00) then a building permit is required.
