Problems & Fixes
- What do I do if I built without a permit?
Contact your local building department immediately to discuss options. You'll likely need to apply for a permit, pay fees and possibly fines, and may need to open walls or make changes to meet code. - Can I sell my house if I have unpermitted work?
Yes, you can often sell, but you must disclose unpermitted work to buyers. It may complicate the sale, lower your price, or require you to get permits before closing.
