I am still confused on how they or anyone else knew the add on was a add on and umpermitted.

they hasve detrailed records of your house as built and any changes made, will have the permits on record.

nothing on record means no permit and then you have a huge fine and in many cases the addition will have to be bulldozed into rubble. they dont just let you pay a fine after the fact, it must be taken down at least to open walls and studs so it can be inspected.
