Expired Permits Hillsborough County |  Top 3 Reasons You Might Have an Expired Permit in Hillsborough County

 

An expired permit is something that many homeowners in Hillsborough County are living with but may not realize until they try to sell their home. If you have ever hired a contractor and remodeled portions of your home or property, you could be living with an expired permit. An expired permit can really delay the process when you attempt to sell your home. Here are the top 3 reasons that a permit may have been left to expire.

 

Work Was Not Completed as Planned

It is possible that a plan was drawn up to complete a remodel but was never finished as it was designed. If this were the case, then the contractor did not bother finalizing the paperwork because it would have shown that the work was not performed as planned.

 

Corners Were Cut

Another possible reason you have an expired permit on your home in Hillsborough County is that your contractor did not perform the work correctly. They may have cut corners by using inferior repairs or products. They likely did not complete the permit process because then their shoddy work would be exposed.

 

The Proper Paperwork Was Simply Not Filed

It is also possible that your contractor just did not follow through with the paperwork aspect of the repairs. They may have completed quality work and followed all codes but just slacked on getting the proper inspections and filing the paperwork upon completion.
