What the town's permit list covers

The Town of La Plata's Department of Planning issues permits and handles inspections inside town limits. Its list of work that needs a permit reads almost like a basement scope:

  • Interior alterations — adding, removing, or replacing walls, doors, or windows
  • Adding, altering, or removing electrical, plumbing, or mechanical work

A finished basement adds walls, lighting and outlets, often a bathroom, and heating and cooling for the new rooms, so it's permit work under every one of those lines. Inspections for the town are done by Planchek, Inc. We file the application and schedule each inspection.

A La Plata mailing address doesn't always mean the home is inside town limits, so we check your property first. Outside the town line, Charles County's permit process applies.

Rental properties

La Plata also requires a permit for rental property. If you're finishing a basement in a house you rent out, we can talk through how the new space fits your plans.
