Any CC&R’s take precedence. will not make any major and/or structural alterations to the property without prior written consent of the Landlord/Seller. required to obtain all necessary permits, required by law, before commencing improvements.

IF it has to be inspected by permit people,,,will the rest of the house pass??

Tell us all a bit more about yourself - so long as it's not an ad, telling more is permitted in your intro thread.

If you have to pull a permit be prepared to pay some hefty fees.

The following approvals are in place and have only happened because of the land owners connections with the government. 1 - Pre-building project approved by the office of Municipal Engineering. 2 - Environmental Impact Assessment permits approved. 3 - Approved by the 12-19-08 IPAT investment law that provides for a property tax exemption for 20 years for up to $ 66 million investment projects, in addition to other tax benefits and incentives, which are derived from this approval. 4 - Plans were approved by IPAT for a full casino hotel casino hotel.

In my little city, you need what's called a dwelling permit.

I really should have fixed those myself to spare the costs when I had the chance.As I said, yes, there was some trash left in the house due to how much snow was outside, which did not permit us to put out the trash.

I'm looking at a deal where the numbers all look good, but there are two additional units in the back without permits.

It may be a bit more in material cost, but less labor intensive and therefore less expensive.Always run a permit check (title can do this for you or you can go to the city planninjg department) BEFORE you buy the home.
