A coworkers parents place in Wisconsin had its taxes increased after an inspector came by when they weren’t home, and peered through the basement window and saw the basement was finished.


Same here. Never had anyone from local government want in to any of my homes unless I pulled permits. Macomb Michigan.



Same here in Springfield, Il. Never come without a building permit and just base it on sales of houses in neighborhood.
