HELP -- Huntsville AL Flipping Laws
I am underway on my first flip. This home is a simple paint, floors and kitchen cabinets. I received a stop work order, and had a inspector walk thru the home. I am being told that "this amount of work has to be all done by a contract." Apparently any reno over $250 (labor and materials) I will need to have a general construction permit....Even if this was only painting I'm over $250.
The big sticky point seems to come from the "gutted" kitchen, and installing cabinets. She is adamant that this MUST be done by a licensed professional. Also the re-installing toilets (removed for tile demo), and hooking up dishwasher must be done by a licensed plumber/electrician.
I think my lesson learned is apply for general construction permit with all working cabinets/appliances in the home.
Does anyone have any advice for me on this, as I prepare to meet with her boss this afternoon?
Thank you all
