As a Homeowner do I need a Building Permit to do work on my own house?

Generally for interior work, for example painting,  no permit is needed.  However, is good practice to check with the Town's Building Official before attempting to do the work yourself for your safety and others.  Electrical or gas related updates to your home may require a permit.
