Remodeling house

Folks, remodeling the house a bit, haven’t taken permit, the only one which might require a permit is re tiling the bathrooms. A guy from the city drove by yesterday and took some pictures from outside the house. The remodeling is almost done. Should I be concerned?

that's illegal!Why did he come? Did you submit something previously?

Garmin MAV23 OP Dec 10, 2019

Yeah, trying to get the permit now, not sure of the consequences

How much work are you doing without a permit? If you’re just doing light interior work like tiles then there’s not much to do - how would anyone know? If you’re gutting the house without permits then that’s a serious issue.

Nothing is changing from the original plans.

Did you remodel the exterior in any way?

Garmin MAV23 OP Dec 10, 2019

Nope, just paint

Painted the exterior and interior, did flooring, changed the faucets. None of these require permit. Re tiling the shower... this one does.. yeah.. unless they come inside and start asking questions, they would not know.. do they have the authority to do so.?

That's ok you don't need permit, if anything your contractor should do it for you if city gives you any trouble. Things like new electrical outlets or recessed lights do require permits though

You don’t need a permit to tile. Did you take a wall down or demo anything? Tiling is cosmetic.

Garmin MAV23 OP Dec 10, 2019

Nope, no changes to walls or anything structural.. just retiling it all..!!

Don’t worry about it. People takes pics for many reasons. Could be someone, like a lender or tax assessor doing a neighborhood assessment in order to value nearby homes. I’ve seen them out and about.

Campbell is notorious for this. Why did you buy in Campbell man? Specially the east side. You should have looked at san Jose
