A homeowner had a new neighbor move in behind them. The new neighbor opted to build a treehouse in their back yard for their three boys. How fun! The tree house was 18 feet at the peak with a deck, siding and windows. How cool!
The only issue……they didn’t pull a permit and were 5 feet from the property line on two sides in the corner. The structure stayed there for about 8 years and then….they decided to sell their home. On their disclosure it asks “was there any work performed on the property where appropriate permits were not pulled?”. They answered incorrectly, NO. Well, long story short, the city finds out about this and made them tear down their big beautiful tree house. Lesson learned……pull required permits.
