Building Without a Permit

 

If you are found to have started construction without the required permit(s), an inspector will immediately issue a "Stop Work Order". You will be required to apply for the permit(s) and pay additional fees (up to twice the amount of the original fee). After the permit has been issued you will then be required to uncover any work that has been covered so that it may be inspected prior to the release of the Stop Work Order. In some cases, regulations or codes may not permit the type of construction that has been done. In this case, you may be required to replace or restore the area to its original condition prior to your construction.
