Sellers are legally required to disclose any additions or unpermitted work that they know about. However, by being upfront about the situation, you can work with buyers to assure them that the work can be fixed. Selling a house with unpermitted work is possible even easy if the changes are minor.

Generally mailed permit applications take approximately one week to process. Permit applications that require a zoning approval or a plan review (see the timeline below) may take up to three weeks or longer.

Code violations will often come up in a title search, and in many cases, unpermitted work is what causes code violations. You can also call your own appraiser or inspector in specifically to check for work that looks like it may have been done off the books, and then cross-check that against the seller's disclosure.

Building lines are utilized by communities principally to achieve planned street patterns. They help insure that buildings will not be erected in the bed of projected streets or of potential street widenings.

Building lines are a specified distance from the sides of a lot that denote where a building or structure cannot be placed. Building lines are often called setbacks, because a building must be set back a specified distance from the property line.

Consult your city (or appropriate governing municipality) building office to review the appropriate building code to determine whether your construction needs a permit. Building permits are required for most construction or remodeling projects to ensure the safety of the structure.
