Here is a previous case by *** (Identity withheld for privacy reason).


I would like some consultation about a building permit. I bought the house 35 years ago from Coldwell Banker Realty - El Dorado County.  When I bought the house it came with a carport and roughly 10 years ago a tree fell on it. I rebuilt the carport and added 3 walls to give it more support. 

Around 2 months ago we did a refile and the Coldwell banker realty came to the house to do a walkthrough. They told me that the carport didn’t have a permit so I would need to get one. I have someone drawing up the plan to show them and if that doesn’t work out when I show them it then I don’t know what to do.

They told me that I have 5 days left to get the permit or I am going to have to start paying $100 per day. Is there any statute of limitation on it? How can you help me? I don’t understand what is happening since I bought the house with the carport on it.
