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.

So you are telling me Realtors check for building permits when selling a house every time? I find that hard to believe, especially for an add on that was done 20yrs ago.

I built a 1600 Sq ft garage with no permits and they didn't do shite lol. They caught it doing assessment and I just had a buddy draw up blueprints and pay for the permit. The money is all they give a damn about.

Who is "they"? The city? I build custom homes and I have never built a single one that finished exactly per city/county/parish submitted and stamped build plan. Even if a city inspector were to have caught someone during the actual unpermitted remodel construction, they would red tag the work, but it is highly unlikely they would ever have someone bulldoze something down. No one at a city (at least the ones I have worked within) level is going to give a shite about a years old addition as long as it doesn't cross property/easement lines or there is a code violation visible from the street. The buyers inspector would be the one to worry about.

No. It means that when the due diligence done by the lending institution for the buyer it will not show the improvements in the public record. They won’t loan the money. An engineer can certify it, or he can go through the process of permitting and inspection.
