[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not a big deal even in towns that the permit process extremely seriously.

I say it's not a big deal because it's a conversion of an existing space and not an addition. If it was an addition done without permit, I would walk away

Frankly the seller can take care of this within a few days. They need to retroactively apply for a permit. Permit cost depends on the price of the project. If I were them I would take the high end of the cost for this project using Chatgpt estimate. The town will be very happy to take the money for the permit.

As long as they are windows (which I assume there are) and the job wasn't done badly it's okay.

And since the seller claim they bought it with the conversion already done (sometimes municipal search miss things and they are found the next time the house is on the market again), the town will give them an easier time.

Be careful with the Internet. If you Google this, you will people after people saying their town told them to revert back to a garage. Those cases are extreme.

Don't let this kill the deal. Closing dates aren't an meeting with God that you can't miss. Closing dates do change.

Good luck!

Some towns don’t allow garage conversions. I’d check on this one.[/quote]
