Unpermitted work on homes sometimes happens. What matters is the actions you take next in the event of the sale. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know that obtaining a permit could lead to costly transactions, but unpermitted work could scare potential buyers away, or drive down the price of your home. Even those smaller projects you can knock out in a weekend could require a permit. There are very few items that you can construct without legally being required to get a permit. Simple projects like paint, floor installation and minor electrical repairs likely won’t need a permit, but if you want to add a fence or window to your home, there’s a good chance you do need one.

An easy way to find out if some improvement was performed without the benefit of a permit is to go to the city or county and pull all records from the building department and planning departments.
