Can I get my investment + interest + penalty back if I refuse to pay subsequent tax?

What if we were to pull permits for changing the floor plan and adding a bedroom, keeping the same square footage, and subsequently decided to rearrange the kitchen moving things like cabinets and counters, but no walls, and didn't pull permits for this part of the project.

Subsequently during clean up, the scope of work changed and costs increased dramatically. 

I'm working on a cash deal now that I intend on rehabbing, renting, and then refinancing - subsequently placing under my LLC. 

i was looking at a Washington state condo, where they just had an emergency assessment, the city required the condo association to redo the club house due to land slide. the association came up with 1.5 million dollars to make the new clubhouse. charging those that have cashed their condos and putting liens on those that financed.

I probably would let the small nail holes slide.  

One big one is that some states that are single action (Non deficiency), allow the lender to pursue the guarantor for deficiency in the event of default and subsequent loss whereas they don't (can't) pursue the borrower.I'm not giving legal advice, just exhaling my bag of wind two cents.

I subsequently rewired the entire home to upgrade all the circuits to code.

She's wrong, and then you let it slide.

Ask for an ALTA 34 endorsement covering the risk and guaranteeing the title insurer will re-insure a subsequent transfer.
