Let’s Talk Real Estate! “ADDRESSING UNPERMITTED HOME IMPROVEMENTS” November 19, 2025

  • 4 days ago

Many homeowners skip the step of obtaining permits for convenience and to save money when making home improvements. Unpermitted work is not in compliance with local ordinances or mortgage loan requirements. Unpermitted work is often addressed at the time of a home sale. The buyer may ask the seller to pull the proper permits to make upgrades compliant, or they may need to pull the permits themselves after closing. This sometimes happens in a competitive market where sellers can find a buyer who’s willing to overlook the unpermitted work. When you sell a house, all unpermitted work must be disclosed to buyers. As a buyer, be aware that you’ll be responsible for taking on the unpermitted improvements.
