If so, he or she should have noticed that the CO did not match the survey, and asked not just for the permit, but the final approval. As they did not If you did not have an attorney, who was responsible for making certain that all the paperwork was in order? If it was the REA.. If the zoning board will not apporve a second garage, you esentially did not get what you bought, and IMO the REA should be held responsible for financial compensation.
COs are often not issued for non-living outbuildings, and ion many places are not ever issued or reviewed after the initial sale that may have happened many many years ago think hundreds in some places. Most of Virginia is pretty lax about COs. Once one has been issued it is good forever unless revoked for cause. The original CO generally shows all originally built structures in most places, as garages must also comply with building code for safety purposes. It's not rocket science.
The survey would show TWO garages. If what you say is correct, the CO would only show the house. As the building of a garage requires approval, and attorney with half a brain would require the owner to provide the permits for the additions to the property in order to make sure prove they were lawfully constructed. This thread is a good reminder to me to take care of some unfinished business. I recently had a garage built -- with a permit.
I had a friend as a contractor I know -- really stupid. But anyway, he had the rough in inspection. But has not arranged for the final inspection. I stupidly paid for the garage at the time of completion thinking that it had been inspected Anyway, the guy is always very agreeable and says "he'll get the inspection arrange tomorrow" -- but of course, now it's been weeks and weeks.
The electrical work has received the final OK -- because in this case, I did not stupidly pay the bill until it was inspected.
When I call the city, they tell me that I cannot schedule a final inspection -- only the contractor can do this. Does anyone know if there is a way for me just get the city out and get this done. Thanks Sussan. Have you gotten an attorney? I think talking to the previous owner cannot help you now, because the ownership was transferred to you and whatever unfinished business left by the previous owner will also be pass on to you so you better get a high caliber lawyer to help you solve this problem.
Good luck! Probably about the whole state since there have been no calls to revoke COs at sale, or force re-inspections of houses with issued Cos. The town never noticed a new garage being built? The tax assessor never actually checked the property? I have no idea of the OP location, but it sounds like a town that pays very little attention to what is going on. In more rural areas no one cares, but in cities and more built up counties the AHJ keeps there eyes open when driving around and will check if a building permit is not properly displayed.
I lived in an historic town that did not require COs when houses were sold, and I certainly liked it that way. Under most codes structures are only required to meet the code that was in effect when they were built, they are then grandfathered for subsequent code changes. Occasionally a change is important enough that it will be enforced at sale, GFCI kitchen and bath receptacles is a common one, along with anti-siphon toilet fills. I had a friend purchase a house built around There was no code in the location at that time, the town and county did not even exist.
It was in an area that likes to 'review' COs at every sale and they tried to make a stink. A few rounds with his attorney and the town decided they would 'allow it this time' but if he ever sold they would be back. That place is actually built better than required even now, it just is not 2x lumber stick built but heavier framing.
The town want a PE to perform a complete structural analysis to justify the structure. In my town, the assessor's office has gone down each street and taken digital pictures of the front of each house.
If you go to the assessor's website, you can see them. That is one way building without permits could be caught - comparing the old photos with new ones that show changes.
Neighbors making a complaint about the building noise, or the new garage wall that blocks their view of something, or the fact that there is no orange permit on the structure Actually driving around and looking, and watching as they drive t and from inspections for the building permits to be posted as required.

Not every garage upgrade needs a permit, but many do. In most cities, yes. Most states leave the regulations up to the individual cities. However most major cities will require you to pull a permit before replacing your garage door. In some states like Florida , the state goes a bit further. Depending on the construction of your garage, you may not need a permit. Of course, making any structural changes to your garage walls will require a permit.
