Are there fines for renovations without a permit?
"Work that is started without a permit will result in the charge of an investigation
Fee in addition to the permit fee. Worse, if the work does not meet the codes, it
would have to be removed or rebuilt, which could prove even more costly."

What coverage does your home insurance policy provide for your conversion?
"Any fire and homeowners' insurance you have may be invalidated if you do work without a permit. If
there is a fire in your house, the insurance company may use the illegal work as an excuse not to pay
on your claim."
