Should I need any permits for Renovation?

Hey all
I'm planning to renovate my garage to increase the space inside. While renovating, we want to shift all the belongings to any other place, so I decided to dump some unwanted and unused items to increase the space. I've googled for any bin service and found this garbage bin rental service, and I hired them for the junk removal. While renovating, I have also planned to change the wiring and plumbing of the garage. Should I need any permits before heading to it? I have planned the budget below $5,000. If so, how much should I pay for the permit?

To conform to your local bylaws, you always need a permit. They usually cost $50-100.

Your question is unclear. How do you gain space with a renovation? Are you lifting up the garage and adding vertical space? If so you will likely need a building permit and to ensure that development regulations are conformed with (i.e. height restrictions). In Alberta certain minor projects (typically less than $5,000 in value) may be allowed without permits; however all Codes still need to be complied with including development regs. If you do require permits it would certainly be the minimum fee for building, plumbing, electrical, etc.
