re: Adding a room to a house without getting a permit

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.

Had a friend that bought a house that had an unfinished upstairs. Once they decided to finish it they used a guy that wasn’t licensed. He didn’t get the proper permits. Fast forward about 8 years. They go to put on the market but their RE said they were going to have an issue because the new living SQ didn’t match from what was originally sold and without permits and code enforcement signing off on the improvements it was a big issue. They had to hire an attorney. Ended up costing them about 5K to get it straight where they could sell the house.
