<p> One disadvantage to that is they would then know it was
unpermitted, and then have to disclose that as a fact rather than
"don't know" on Form 17.<br>
</p>
<p>I had an interesting experience with unpermitted work last year.
Despite applying for permits, the prior owner apparently never had
them finalized. That was over 20 years ago, and the county showed
no interest in going out an inspecting the property, in part
because they wouldn't know what code provisions to apply!</p>
<p>In another case, an eastside city did come out an permit after
the fact some then current owner remodel work, and while some
obvious plumbing venting issues did require being addressed, they
let slide some electrical issues, such as number of outlets on a
wall.</p>
<p>Getting back to the OP's question, those sorts of issues are more
likely to be issues for a seller in a more normal market. For
that second situation I was critical of the appraiser using two
short sales as comps when the sale itself was not a short sale and
that area had very few short sales--so obviously a different
market time.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have a client purchasing a property where
the county websites states it’s 2.5 baths and the home has 3
baths. If it was done without permits I am aware that many
municipalities would make the new owner pull permits, submit
plans, inspect and then force them to correct any
deficiencies. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any other downside to the Buyer to
be aware of? Is Buyer obligated to notify the property
appraiser of the discrepancy?<o:p></o:p></p>
