The Risk of Not Getting a Building Permit

By
Real Estate Agent with Associate Broker / Teles Properties, Inc.

All to often homeowners do repairs or remodels and don't get the proper building permits. This can become extremely risky. If your construction project does not comply with the local codes, the value of your investment could be reduced. Property insurers may not cover work done without permits and inspections. If you decide to sell a home or building that has had modifications without a permit, you may be required to tear down the addition or do costly repairs.

The best way to find out if you need a permit is to call your local building department.
