Adding a room to a house without getting a permit

If you added a room to a house without getting a permit years ago... does that room add or subtract from the house value... asking because my Uncle is being told he can't sell one of his rental properties because of it... now they're saying house doesn't even qualify for section 8... nothing is wrong with the house

You will get your permission from big government, and you will say thank you

Who are they? What state? Need details and Uncle needs a lawyer.

Chat GPT: Without a permit, the added room may not be recognized in the official records, potentially leading to issues with property assessments and appraisals.

Find pics of a decrepit old lean-to. Say it was on your house. You’ve now “improved an existing structure”.
That’s basically what we did with my pool “shed”. It was falling down old tin roof with pinhole rust holes. Replaced it with a proper shop. Anybody gets horsy I can throw some pool noodles in there. Lol

That is a very location specific question without a location.

Shoulda pulled that permit before building that extra room for mawmaw, baw.

Assessors office is the answer & you’re probably not getting the whole story from mom or uncle.
When calcasieu parish finally gets around to reassessing property there’s going to be plenty of hollering. Nobody pulled permits after Laura.

It’s understandable that he doesn’t qualify for a government program after neglecting to follow the rules ……of a government program

Did he ask if he could pay for the permit after the fact?
Posted on 1/21/24 at 10:28 am to lepdagod
Had no idea this was a thing. We are getting the house lifted with grant money and they’ll be closing in the garage to make another room. I permit the parish to lick my balls if they have an issue.

I’m a Texas attorney from Winnsboro, LA, but I have a friend that practices in Winnsboro and Monroe that I can connect you with. If I was handling this in Texas, I would advise the seller to simply disclose the non-permitted addition in the MLS and seller disclosure. Whoever is saying that it doesn’t count towards the property’s value or prevents the property from being sold has done a terrible job of advising you/your uncle and should not be listened to anymore. A property is ultimately worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and if a financed purchase, what an appraiser states it is worth, which usually ends up at or near the contract price. If the seller discloses the non-permitted addition and a buyer still wants to purchase it at the price the seller is asking, there should be no problems as long as your uncle doesn’t walk up to the appraiser during the appraisal and say hey we didn’t permit this addition.

That seems redundant

if you do, it reduces the sale price of your home
you have to pay or reduce sale price for the new buyers, to the amount it cost to bulldoze the addition into ruble and restore your house to the way it was before.
unless you can find an all cash buyer for it and sell it as-is, and good luck dealing with that one
just pay the fricking couple hundred dollars for a permit and inspection so its up to code and do it right

People always trying to cut corners where they shouldnt.

In several states where I’ve been involved in buying houses you can’t close on a loan if there are things lacking a permit. Different rules in different states, but in Monroe County, Florida it’s almost impossible to sell a house if you added to it without a permit. The easiest way to go forward is to rip the out what was put in illegally.
Before people go on about big government there are some really good reasons as to why we have building codes and building permits. The idea that you can do whatever you want on property you own is absurd.
