There
are probably 80% - 90% people who admit that they do not get permit for doing
changes to their house. There are various reasons why people choose not to get
permit for their houses. However, most of them are caught; as a result, they
face severe penalties in some cases, and mild penalties in others. The
penalties vary from city to city and from state to state.

says that there are some clients who prefer not to buy such properties that are
remodeled without any permit. The reasons why clients are hesitant to buy such
houses are the legal issues associated with such properties. Dean says mostly

Why People Avoid Getting Permit:
There
are various reasons why people avoid getting permit for remodeling of houses.
Number one reason is fees associated with permit. The fee structure varies with
city to city and state to state. Mostly the fee is not so high, but the people
are frightened of local inspectors. There are some additional and possibly
unreasonable requirements with the remodeling permits. There are city codes,
again varying from state to state. For example if you want to renovate kitchen,
your city code might order you to remove stove and do some other renovations as
well.
Another
reason is inspectors, no two inspectors will show you same attitude. If one
officer said to alter one thing, the second will order you to do two more
amendments.
Another
possible reason is that people think that they will not be caught. Homeowners
are of the opinion that they have bought the house just for investment purpose
and they will sale it way before it is reported to the related authorities.
Why You Should Go For Remodeling
Permit:
Although
the procedure is a bit lengthy, time consuming and might causes a hundred
dollars more on the deal, but it is safe and essential for your property. If
you think that you can get away with the entire remodeling and won't be caught,
think again. Sources can report against you, for example, your neighbor can
report remodeling of your house.
According
to Dean, there are several reasons why you must obtain a work permit before
starting remodeling process:
To Get 100% Accurate Work:
When you
a hire a contractor, he will give you three ways of doing work. However, it is
not necessary that all three ways are correct ways of doing your work. A house
that is remodeled must have permit in order to get 100% accurate work.
To Avoid Penalties:
There
are chances you might get away with remodeling without permit. But you cannot
avoid future penalties. Worth of your property can fall down. In most of the
cases, sum of penalties is more than the fee of getting permit.
In Order To Avoid Tear off:
In most
of the cases, if you are caught with a remodeling without permit, government
authorities will order you to tear the remodeled part out of the house.
To Get Your House Insured:
In most
cases, you will not get your house insured. Insurance companies are always
hesitant to insure such houses that are remodeled without any permit.
