[quote=Anonymous]Most people who don't get permits do so to save a small amount of money and time. Whether any risks associated with doing that outweigh the savings is a judgment call. When permits are required, the process is meant to ensure that the work meets the requirements of applicable construction codes. That is, the work being done implicates safety and/or habitability issues which are addressed by the codes. Otherwise, no permit would be required. Another consideration is that when selling a home buyers or their inspectors may check that any work done was permitted. In the current real estate market that might not be much of a concern, but in the future it could pose a real obstacle to a sale.[/quote]
