What renovations require a permit in Baltimore Co
I am looking to do minor renovations myself without using a contractor for a rental property in Baltimore County. Specifically, do I need a permit to replace carpet/vinyl flooring with hardwood or a bathroom renovation with no structural updates ie ripping everything out and building back up with existing layout
I have done this in my primary residences but I've never done this on a rental property and can't find any documentation on the baltimore county website on whether I need a permit for these or not.

hi
As an investor a small project like that I would play the game of risk and avoid the permit man. Baltimore County is more lenient than the City.
see the link for a description of what needs a permit technically
