1/2 bath to 3/4 bath unpermitted. Is it worth it to come clean?

[Account Closed]

I foolishly did a remodel on my home in Lacey, WA a few years ago and added a shower to a 1/2 bath with out getting a permit. Now I'm thinking about selling and wondering if it is worth it to come clean and go forward with the city on making it legal vs ripping it all out and going back to a 1/2 bath? What are your thoughts? It seems like all I ever hear are horror stories when dealing with permits and cities/counties....

Many years ago I added a 1/2 bath to our home.  I got it all finished up pretty and called in the inspector.  I was at work when my wife called.  I had it all finished... not open so he could see my work!  he asked me several questions and then signed off, after explaining thr point of the inspection!   

Point is, the happy homeowner can get away with a lot if he’s honest, gracious, and “dumb”!  Just don’t try to get away with it in a rental!
