A building permit must be obtained to finish a basement; however, a building permit fee will be waived. Because the building square footage is charged in original plans and plumbing, and mechanical work is usually roughed-in in unfinished basements, permits are required to finish the plumbing and mechanical but there is no charge for those permits, unless there are special circumstances. For example, if the basement floor must be opened to install new plumbing drain lines or if a new hot water heater or a furnace is installed then a permit and fee will be required. A standard electrical permit is required with the standard fee for the addition of new electrical circuits as well as for electrical wiring and new outlets to finish a basement. Standard inspections from the Building Division will still be conducted and work must be in compliance with the code enforced by the Town of Wright.

A sixty dollar ($60.00) fee will be assessed for each subsequent reinspection of the same type of work which is found to be incorrect after the second inspection. The reinspection fee must be paid to the Town of Wright before each reinspection can be scheduled.
