Contractors have a duty of care to perform work ing to industry standards and legal requirements. Failing to obtain necessary permits can be considered negligence. Homeowners can sue for negligence and seek compensation for: Property Damage: Any damage caused by unpermitted work.
A permit could be a minor or major part of a contract: for example a lease may call for the tenant to obtain all required permits before construction; or one could contract with an individual to obtain a permit for them. While a permit may be incidental to a contract the permit itself is not part of contract law.
A legal agreement can be informal, meaning nothing needs to be witnessed or written down. A contract, on the other hand, is both more formal and legally binding—which means it must be documented. Both an agreement and contract represent specific arrangements between two or more parties.
