I want to legalize the renovation made, but is it even possible? I&#39;m afraid I&#39;ll be fined and MPSJ may even tear down the renovated parts from what I read. I&#39;m most worried about the renovation being illegal and rejected. I&#39;m ok to pay to get the renovation legalized.<br /><br />Has anyone been in that situation (renovation completed without permit by the previous owner)?<br /><br />Bonus question: how much is it going to cost me? I guess I won&#39;t be able to avoid the fine + have to pay for architect to draw the plans + permit fees, etc.<br /><br />Thanks&#33; cedm Home Renovations and Interior Design Wed, 16 May 2012 18:23:02 +0800
