is just an inspection okay?

[Account Closed]

We are currently remodeling our kitchen and doing all the work ourself from electric to installing cabinets. If we don't get a permit and finish the work and later get an inspection that passes is that okay? Nothing should come back to us later on down the road if something was to happen if we were to sell right?

Coby,
It is difficult to have permit work inspected after the work is completed. When dealing with electrical, there typically needs to be a "rough" inspection of the work before it's covered up by drywall. The same applies for plumbing. As to the liability issue, there is always a chance of something coming back to you no matter how likely or un-likely that chance may be. It would be my recomendation to have the work permited and inspected. The small cost of a permit can save you a lot of headache in the future.
