It is important to know what the permit status is on your property. When the time comes to sell it, a buyer will find out if there are non-permitted improvements or any ‘red-tag’ violations; as a seller you are required by law to disclose everything you know about your property and in some cases, permit violations will dramatically impact your price. If you have code violations, now is the time to resolve them, not when you’re trying to sell your property.

We have resources and consultants that we work with routinely that will offer advice on how to investigate and navigate county permit violations. For more information on things to do BEFORE you decide to sell your home, please feel free to call us!
