If you obtain a permit, and have the periodic inspections thru final, it is supposed to be a "cost covering" (fees pay for records and file personnel and inspections on project). Inspectors arrive when requested.
If you have an expired permit, or no permit, it then becomes "Code Enforcement" a big money generator for the County, or jurisdiction it serves. All extra fines levied against property goes into the general fund (in theory), hence making the County or jurisdiction happy. On Code Enforcement cases, no pre arranged inspection is required, if home and refused entry, citation process starts, if not paid, possible tax lien until access granted to "start" inspection/permit process.
