Renovations done without a permit?

What are the consequences of doing renovations without a permit? I’m concerned about potential fines, insurance issues, and problems when selling my home.

Doing renovations without a permit can lead to serious consequences. You might face hefty fines from local authorities for not following regulations. Additionally, your homeowners insurance may not cover damages related to unpermitted work, leaving you vulnerable. When selling your home, unpermitted renovations can complicate the sale process or lower your property’s value. Always check local laws before starting renovations!
