He could just not go thru Section 8 and rent it out directly to whoever can pay.

Took in a back porch and added three rooms. Had ac ducts ran and did my own electrical. House sold and passed inspection no problem. I didn’t add roofline though. Screw the assessors and the permit office. Nothing like having to pay and ask permission to improve something you own.

f 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
None of this is true in Mississippi

I just bought a 2-bedroom house, but I think I get to decide how many bedrooms there are, don't you?
"frick you, real estate lady! This bedroom has an oven in it! This bedroom's got a lot of people sitting around watching TV. This bedroom's over in that guy's house! Sir, you have one of my bedrooms, are you aware? Don't decorate it!"”

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.

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
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.

Why is it a problem that you are required to get a permit for something like this? It's in everyone's best interest to know something is safe and up to code.

Magic 8 ball says he started saying extra square footage and an extra bedroom but when something in the sale caused someone to peek at the records numbers were obviously mismatched
Not wanting to buy into a possibly sketchy add on the person decided to look for permits… and now here he is

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.

There's a pretty short prescriptive period for an unpermitted addition or non-conforming structure.
Unless it is in the French Quarter. There, the prescriptive period runs only from actual notice by the VCC of the nonconforming structure. So if this home is in the FQ, they can make the owner demolish it.

They don't mind a bit kicking you in the balls and you will have sore balls.
Folks complain about shite costing a fortune but they will line up around the corner to tell other people what they can and can't do with their property. Changes in zoning ordinances and building codes are the main driver of increased property values over the last 50 years and NONE of those changes have added any wealth to the economy but more importantly NONE has made anyone any safer. What they have done is priced many people out of the market and made slaves to the market out of most. People LOVE telling one another what they can and can't do with their property...to the point that most new homes now have an unelected board who can toss a homeowner out of their home for almost any reason and those boards are almost unregulated...most states will allow a HOA to do anything it damn well pleases. Meanwhile elected officials allow developers to build the poorest quality shite imaginable but won't allow a homeowner to replace his own water heater. Folks could care less as long as they can dictate to their neighbor what their neighbor does with his property.

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.
Is it? Is it more absurd than allowing large developers to build shitty houses on questionable foundations? Talk to condo owners in South Florida. If the government is going to get involved in telling people what they can and can not do with their property then the government should be liable when they allow a developer to build a house on a foundation with a layer of top soil covering a pile of construction debris for a foundation. The county should be liable when they inspect and approve plans and inspect and approve building methods and they go to shite in a few years...but instead the buyer is ultimately responsible, the county sure as hell ain't exposed at all and the developer seeks shelter from any liability in the courts. The bankers and the insurance company executives made their money, they don't give a frick if the shareholders make any or not.
In most counties in Georgia you can build a house yourself. You can't sell it or rent it for 24 months after the date of occupancy. You can, however, if you know someone with a grandfathered license, and they're are a bunch of them, pay that person a small sum of money to pull permits and you can do anything you want with the house as soon as you have a certificate of occupancy. There is some variant of this in just about all states unless they simply will not issue a homeowner permit at all. They're is NOTHING about zoning or building codes that protect the buyer, they are all about limiting competition. Thats absurd.

Having passed an inspection in any jurisdiction does not mean anything is up to code and it damn sure don't mean its safe. The authority having jurisdiction has NO exposure. They inspect at a million mile high level. They inspect before things are covered up but have NO idea what is done from the time they inspect until the stuff is covered up. It is common practice to dig a footing, compact it, place reinforcing steel, get an inspection and as soon as the inspector leaves start throwing building debris into the footings and covering it with concrete. Some builders use the same reinforcing steel over and over again. The fact that it was inspected means NOTHING. If it goes to shite the builder will ask for protection from the courts, the buyer is shite out of luck and the builder is right back at it again with a new name and another bonding (insurance) policy. If you think zoning and building codes protect consumers take a look at the way folks drive. The same agency meant to keep driving somewhat safe is involved in zoning and building codes.

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.

Last month while waiting in line I listened to an elderly Italian dude argue with the chief plans reviewer for 20 minutes about his 12x12 shed drawings he made himself. 
He was missing some pretty obvious stuff on his drawings, but I was just impressed he was pulling a permit at all.

Will need a window to be counted as a bedroom when selling I believe.
