Do I need a permit for an attic addition?

I am going to add a bedroom to a unit in the attic. I will not be changing any structure, just simple insulate, sheet rock, run some electrical, etc. Will I need to get a permit or do any type of paper work before this mini project? Thanks for any and all advice in advance!

Best,

Bryan

@Bryan Cavellier Every area is different, but you will almost definitely needs a permit. Running electrical up there would require one in any place I know of.
