Finish a basement without a permit

How much do permits cost in Fairfax County? Can I say the construction is ongoing to avoid taxes? What happens when I try to sell the house years later?

Thanks.

When you go to sell it and they go to pull the permits you will not have any. At a minimum they will make you cut open the walls and ceilings to inspect the electrical and plumbing. At the maximum they make you completely remove everything. Don't do it.

Bullshit.

I've sold a bunch of places I've reworked substantially. No one checks and no one cares. Else the beaners would have a helluva time because they never get permits.

A finished space may be remodeled to your hearts contents long as you do not expand it. An unfinished space must be permitted for any work. You fuckers are setting this guy up for failure. My father in law had to cut open his walls and raise his ceiling three inches when he did his basement without permits.

https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/landdevelopment/when-permit-required

A permit IS required for...
•New buildings, additions and structures
•Interior alterations (including finished basements) except new floors, carpet, paint, trim work

#1 total bullshit. only particular kinds of work require permit new or old. old work needs permit depending on what it is. it's about engineering or lack of, insurance, and what by law must be in a homes county architecture plans.

#2 the county supervisors and family mob are running tons of un-certified businesses do never pull permits even when they're required

#3 the county is doing illegal work on their own buildings




#1 you only need a permit if your a political enemy they are trying to take a notch down

that's all democrats fucking do, that's all they know how to do. they certainly have no fucking clue about laws or engineering

There will always be situations where people can get away with it, but that was not the question. If you are caught they can force you to obtain the permits and necessary inspections after the fact or they can force you to rip it out. Unpermitted improved basements can allow a home buyer to back out of a contract or allow him to sue for fraud. Unpermitted work can affect insurance damage claims. A tenant renting an unpermitted basement room could get the lease voided.

The jerk off we bought our house from in 2001 did not pull a permit to finish his basement. He finished the basement himself. Our home inspector noted it and said it was no big deal. Fast forward 15 years, we go to sell the house. Buyer's home inspector states no permit was pulled, notifies Fairfax County, who contacts us and says they must inspect within 5 days. (Buyer is no longer interested, of course.)

Fairfax County Inspector comes out and states that because basement was not inspected when it was completed he has to go by current FFX Cty codes. He informed us the electrical wiring was done improperly (wrong gauge aluminum wire used, electrical in basement tied to HVAC instead of main, wrong type electrical box used, too many outlets, etc.) The inspector is surprised the issues did result in a house fire, but because of their severity he has no choice but to condemn our house until the electrical issues in the basement are resolved. We have to take our house off the market and spend $9,000 to get the entire basement rewired properly and redo the drywall. We also has to spend $2,000 for hotels, since the a-hole condemned our house.

To top it off, Fairfax County sends us a bill for back taxes from 1994 to 2016, since the finished basement increased the value of the home and it was never reported!

And what have you learned from this?

That YOU need to spend decent money on a legit inspector so that you don't get into these spots.

And...in Fairfax you don't sell your place if you have serious fucked up issues. You rent the place to beaners or zips and then cut a deal to sell it to them.

Here's the problem....you can get around selling it if you don't pull permits.

The issue is that when the house burns down because you are too cheap to apply for a permit and get an inspection, your insurance company will tell you to go fuck yourself and you will not get a dime from them. Hopefully your fucked up wiring won't kill your family as well.

I used to live in Fairfax but im glad I moved out of there. Where i live at now there is no code enforcement and no permits. Guess what? You don't hear about houses falling in or electrical fires due to poor construction. I'm sure it's happened but it really shows that code enforcement and permits are a bunch of b.s.

Someone like you once made a pile of money for me. Guy claimed he had no idea there was a mold problem, and it did not matter anyway because the house was sold as is on a non contingent sale. We could prove the home inspector in a sale that fell through identified the mold problem. Sellor's realtor was prepared to testify the she had given a copy of the home inspection report to the seller. Judge ruled the case could go to trial on fraud, the punitive damages claim would be allowed, and that we did not have to prove the seller actually read the home inspection report to prevail.

You can sell the property to whomever you want, within the limits of anti discrimination laws. If you choose to sell it to someone without disclosing known defects, you risk making someone like me rich.

It is important to inspect electrical and plumbing issues very minutely, as if anything wrong happens it may risk your life. Basements tend to be very unforgiving when it comes to leaks, even very minor ones. More problems can be avoided by not plumbing anything in concrete such as the floor or concrete side walls. Under any state of confusion consult drain repair service NJ for more help and solutions.

In today's seller's market an unpermitted improved basement in a home in a modest priced neighborhood probably isn't a big deal. The county isn't likely to catch it unless a neighbor complains. That could happen during construction or it could happen if the neighbor with a permitted improved basement files an appeal because his home is assessed higher than yours. It probably won't. The insurance company isn't likely to make an issue of it unless you file a claim. Most tenants won't even bother checking about permits, either when moving in or when being evicted.

The reason you bother going through the process is that you do not know what things will be like when you want to sell the property. Someone here mentioned the home inspector in 2001 who said it was no big deal. Well in 2001 it wasn't. If you walked away from the contract because the improvement wasn't permitted, the seller probably could sell it to someone else for the same or more money. In 2010 things were different. In 2010 if the seller walked away you might be looking at having the property sit on the market for several months before you could sell it, and then it would be at a lower price. What it takes to meet Code requirements is determined when the permit was issued. That perfectly fine building practice in 2001 may not be acceptable in 2021. It wasn't that long ago that finding out about permits meant making a trip to the Government Center. Now many can be searched on line. In another decade real estate sales web sites may automatically link to those local permits, so when Anwhar and Maria show up at your house they already know the work wasn't permitted.

This. Even if your family gets out alive, having a $350,000 claim laughed off by your insurance company isn't worth saving a thousand or two on permitting.

The National Electrical Code doesn't limit the number of receptacles you can place on a 20-amp circuit, but you'll overload the breaker if you run appliances that draw more current than the breaker can handle.
for example, certain plumbing must be fixtured, though such a thing is not shown on building plans

this could happen while re-installing existing plumbing OR remodeling that doesn't infact change the plumbing itself

despite the lack of need for permit and only questionable need for inspection: illegal plumbing is still illegal

This is a very bad idea, don't even think about doing it. You may now be able to avoid paying taxes, but when you want to sell your house, everyone will know about your illegal basement. In this case, you will have to pay not only tax, but also a fine for it. I noticed that now more and more people, before buying a house, apartment, garage or any other real estate, order special services that conduct a full inspection both in terms of the state of the property and the state of documents, check if everything is legal. I recently helped a friend sell a house, as 70% of buyers initially hired Building Inspection Perth to inspect the house. Probably, they wanted to identify some flaws and lower the price, but nothing came of it.

* FINISHED BASEMENTS ARE NOT REQUIRED

* HALF FINISHING A BASEMENT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL

* LISTING A HOME AS HAVING A 'FINISHED BASEMENT' DOES NOT REQUIRE COUNTY APPROVAL

* FX CO GOV INSPECTOR, A HINDU, WAS CAUGHT TAKING BRIBES

* FX CO GOV DMV LOCATION WAS CAUGHT SELLING CITIZENSHIP ID'S TO ILLEGAL ALIENS

* FX CO GOV USES UN-QUALIFIED ILLEGAL ALIENS ON GOV JOBS AND ON THEIR HOMES

* FX CO GOV SUPERVISORS AND STAFF ARE PART OWNERS IN BUSINESSES THAT USE ILLEGAL ALIEN LABOR FOR WORK THAT IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE DONE BY CERTIFIED PERSONS (ie, certain electrical/panel work)

I noticed that now more and more people, before buying a house, apartment, garage or any other real estate, order special services that conduct a full inspection both in terms of the state of the property and the state of documents, check if everything is legal. I recently helped a friend sell a house, as 70% of buyers initially hired Building Inspection Perth to inspect the house. Probably, they wanted to identify some flaws and lower the price, but nothing came of it.

I really don't understand why they are so angry ... Personally, I used similar services when I bought myself a new home.

Bullshit. I finished my basement myself. Ran electrical from the sub-panel for 4 circuits. Had the plumber move the rough in, which was permitted, so the bathroom was good to go when I finished it off. I've since had 2 county inspectors come over to sign off on other work that entailed them going into the basement and neither time did they say shit about the work I had done. And that included them signing off on circuits run to that very same sub-panel.

If you think unpermited work will stop a house from selling in NoVA you're clueless. It may take your home 9 hours to sell instead of 7 hours.

Exactly. This is probably the biggest b.s

"Buyer's home inspector states no permit was

Home inspectors have better shit to do than notify the county of violations, complete b.s

I have heard stories where a home buyer learned that a major improvement such as the basement or a deck was done without a permit, and used it to try and leverage a large price reduction. When the seller refused the buyer then turned the owner in to the county out of spite. At that point the buyer did need to bring the property up to code. So if he'd stopped there I might have said PLAUSIBLE.

Where it descended into pure bull shit was where he claimed the County also hit him up for back taxes from 1994 to 2016. There is only a limited window where the county can assess real estate taxes for previous years, and it does not go back 20 plus years. Even if it tried to, the story says the home sold in 2001. That means that the value reset as of that date, and that value reflected an improved basement.

Really? You a certified home inspector? You do understand we have cell phones and tablets to write the report with access to the county and even the world.

No shit, the whole point is for them to give the BUYER that report. They have no interest in giving it to the county, even if they did the county would probably just ignore it.

Not to mention a lot of "home inspectors" are just sleazy contractors who give even less of a shit and just care to make a quick buck.

Licensed and certified inspectors will report most building code violations.

Let's see some stories of this happening, haven't found anything yet. If this was a thing surely there would be at least a few mentions of it somewhere on the interwebs. You know why already though, it's complete b.s to think a private residential home inspector will report violations to the county.

FAIRFAX COUNTY HIRED AN ILLEGAL ALIEN HINDU INSPECTOR WHO WAS SUED FOR TAKING BRIBES

DROP DEAD G2

GET OUT OF THE USA





Gerrymanderer2 (G2, the OP original poster or spammer just above, perhaps both) posts several lies on ffu daily - many think he's a fx co gov worker who is getting paid to do it for false DNC democrat "advertising". He floods ffu with useless posts to bump down major news, demoralize americans. G2 posts fecal matter, mutilated bodies, child porn, foreign drug ads and sneaker ads, tells people to kill themselves and government should seize them and put them on psych pills in prison without a trial - decided by DNC democrats gov workers, promotes kangaroo courthouse trials, gives anti-religious rants, gives satanic ritual rants, posts black males with large dicks on white young females, portends white low birth rate and fall of USA whites, suggestive of food tampering/poisoning to solve the white problem, and anything possible to demoralize any americans on ffu - all of which are fake news he never responds to proofs it is fake. (perhaps g2 is a chinese prisoner or isis member - but definitely knowledgeable of fx co gov from the inside at times). The website operator has told him "not to post or return" (in an existing post by the sysop): not because of a political leaning but for continual illegal and gross spam along with messages that are only to demoralize if not kill others. G2 plays at financial terrorism as well; continually reporting fake and false financial data. G2 fakes emergency pleas to deaden the real response to any real one - like a devil. G2 continually spams FFU - which all users complain of: it is a real DoS attack - the attacks are not just topic bumps but designed to inject key words to kill ffu and google search results. G2 continually promotes drug use, alcoholic experimentation, and tries to convince members to meet hookers using photos from the 1990's (i doubt any that did are not arrested or dead). G2 continually posts racist posts and gay posts egging others to comment - then attacks who does - AND RECORDS IT (likely for political extortion). G2 and dems MONITOR AND RECORD* "conservatives who blast out these democrat lies and illegal abuse of telephone privilege (sometimes in a raw manner, being so jaded by the job)" (users who object to G2's actions listed so far). One ffu member discovered a south american country recording FFU databasing all posts in a non-chat database format - and when questioned - another member quickly said it was all coincidence and that this was done everywhere in the world on all sites: WHICH IS A LIE. Not all countries record the every word of what fairfaxians say on blogs. Extortion is also mentioned by G2. And the idea he's fishing for comments he can use against anyone who'd run for office is "just assume he's in that business" - and i've warned others that is what he fishes for - excuses to attack conservatives and or to extort them.

SOME POSTERS ON FFU FEEL G2 IS A JOKER: I ASSURE YOU THE ABOVE COMPLAINTS ARE GENUINELY A THREAT TO ONLOOKERS (THE UN-INTIATED), NON-DEMOCRATS, AND TO ANYONE STATING THAT LAWS SHOULD BE IMPOSED ON DEMOCRATS EQUALLY AS DEMOCRATS IMPOSE THEM ON OTHERS: MONEY

LEGAL NOTICE: DEMOCRATS HAVE `SWATTED' THE HOMES OF SOME FFU POSTS WHO REFUTE G2 AND CALL DEMS OUT ON THEFT AND LIES - AND EXPOSE THE LAWS THEY COULD BE PROSECUTED FOR BREACH OF TRUST. THAT'S A CONFIRMED WITNESSED FACT. IT IS NO JOKE WHAT G2 IS DOING. HIS CONTINUAL FISHING IS NOT IDLE - THEY ARE TRIGGERED AND ARMED. which i've warned others about since, about 2010 - that G2 is fishing for men to "erase" politically, by any means available to him


G2 has now been wimpering that anti-G2 posts are "unfair" and that users who protest G2 should be blocked, SWATTED (see above), and forced on medications (see above), and that "someone else is G2". However - do not let the vicious foreign attacker fool you into your death our out of your community: G2 has been active since exactly the beginning of 2017 "hillary has already won the election" set of lies and has only DOUBLED spam recently - yes the suicide taunting of others, false information, and all else listed above. He is not wimpering for help he has doubled the spam and vicious attacks (or they, communist/facist using federal money. I pinned him correctly when I began this warning post.

GO BACK TO HELL G2. YOU ARE EXPOSED.

No they don't. They wouldn't stay in business long if they did. Real Estate agents would stop using them.

It happened to me. I performed most of the work on my house over thirty years. Then the libtards and niggers started buying and moving into the neighborhood so I figured it was time to leave. Some fag libtard but a bid on the house contingent on a home inspection. Well, they brought in Inspector Twinkle Toes who went thru every nook and cranny. The asswipe then asked to see permits. I was not to happy with what was going down so I kicked his ass out the door. That cost me plenty in permits, repairs to meet existing codes.
They do report so believe what you want.

I work in a regulated field. On occasion one of my clients will tell me how I need to report someone. My normal response is You aren't paying me to do that. If you want me to go through that hassle then you need to give me a pile of money. I am guessing the normal building inspector would feel the same way. Why do extra work.

The answer though is that if someone pisses you off enough then you do it to get even. What reason would a building inspector have for getting pissed off because a house had an unpermitted basement. Answer-none. The person who might be sufficiently pissed off though is the buyer's realtor.

So you overlook things that are not up to code. You must be a Trumptard.

Hi everyone. I've been having a lot of troubles with holes in my walls, so I wonder how to fix a drywall? I've been searching trough tutorials and found a site that specialized on fixing the walls. With all the information that they have I can easily fix cracks, dentsm and holes. Now I even know how to eliminate the leakeage. Check them out if you have that type of problems.
