Flipping Permit Questions

[Austin Dickey]

Hi BP Members! 

I jumped in rather quickly and bought a fixer upper a few months ago. Didn’t really understand anything about permits, except to get one for the dumpster on the road. I’ve pretty much fixed everything up already;  the roof, new walls, new electric, and HVAC. The inspector called and met me, telling me I need a structural permit and now learning I need a million other permits. I’m lost on what to do. Do I file these permits even though the home repairs are already completed? Thanks for your help in advance.
