i did not "get caught"!! i have done nothing wrong!! , i have not "avoided my responsibilities", i did not 'mouth off', i in fact tried very hard not to be directly angry at the men involved, and i am not looking for sympathy, so you are pretty much wrong on all counts. furthermore my home is assessed and taxed as a resident, and the assessor measured its square footage to be sure i wasn't being overcharged. i do not know whether that tax is more because some people have no permits at all. i would have thought that people that were actually avoiding paying tax by claiming to run bogus businesses or farms are more likely to be adding to the tax burden?

Are you not living in a home that has not passed its final inspection? If so, you are illegally living in it. Has your permit lapsed beyond the due date?

You are confusing building permits and inspections with the tax office. They are separate entities. The tax office will tax your non-finaled house as if it were finaled so that people don't have a reason to not complete the process and pay a lower tax. When discovered, people with no permits at all will also be charged property tax as if the property had been through the permitting process.

Why don't you ardently pursue the process of getting your home thru passing a final inspection?
