Pull Permit or Go without Permit - What's your take?

[Vijaianand Thirunageswaram]

Alright!! I been working on few deals and one especially with a old pool. We are closing on this deal soon and checked with few contractors to close the pool.  Nobody talks about the permit except one guy. They all want to do with out permit.

Accordingly to my limited knowledge through my contractor friend, no contractors want to do permit due to cost and time. They don't have bond to put for the permit and permit inspection delays them as well. That's why they do it without permit and quick.  But there is big problem for the owner. If you do it without pulling permit and if you start having foundation issues or any issues, insurance won't cover  it because you did it without proper approval. On the other hand, if you had permit and shown proof of proper documentation, then you got a better hand.

It goes with any job. Permit is required whether its small or big not we are used to not pulling permit for small job. That may be ok but for big jobs, always pull permit. That's my take away..

What y'all gotta to share on this topic?
