Do I need a permit to renovate or extend my home (omgevingsvergunning)?

Many small renovations are permit-free, but larger work such as an extension (aanbouw), a dormer (dakkapel) or a structural change often needs an environmental permit (omgevingsvergunning) from the municipality. Checking the rules before you start avoids problems and fines later. Permitted renovation work can frequently be financed within your mortgage or building depot.
