Q: Will I need a permit for cement work on my property?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-permit-cost.htm">building permi</a>t for cement work on your property. You need a permit for any project that adds a permanent foundation on your property&mdash;which, in most cases, includes even a flat slab of concrete poured directly on the ground. Building permits for concrete projects usually cost between <b>$100 and $500</b>, although this can get higher for larger projects.

Q: Can you pour the footing and foundation together?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour the footings for your foundation and the foundation system itself together, in which case the footing acts as the foundation. Some common examples of foundations where you might pour the footings simultaneously include floating slab foundations and monolithic slab foundations. Both lack traditional footings underneath the slab, so these foundation types are considered footings.</p></div>
