Sometimes our borrowers' contractors will need to obtain a permit prior to performing the work.  The City of Des Moines' Permit and Development Center provides what you'll need to know.   

Neighborhood Finance Corporation greatly appreciates realtors referring their clients to NFC for mortgage financing, and the Des Moines Area Association of Realtors® has been very supportive of NFC.
