This process can take as long as several weeks, depending on the size of the project. Permits are required before any work begins, but it's usually a few weeks from application to issuance. During the permitting process, you must also set up a series of inspections with local building inspectors. These inspections are necessary to ensure that your new garage will be up to code.
