Will be applying for a permit next week to constuct an addition on my recently purchased home. Do I need to wait for the permit before I can begin demolition of existing walls, roof etc. or is the permit needed for both demolition and construction? I live in NJ.

Where I live the local code official has allowed demolition to take place prior to obtaining the building permit. It's usually done on a case by case basis. You or your contractor should call the city offices and ask to speak with a reprsentative from the buiding code department about your question. Hopefully they'll let you do it.

Yes...... in most every city a permit is needed before starting any remodeling.

get the permit first, if you have pain in the *** neighbors & they can complain to the town and you may incur fines.
