Let's say 5 years from now you are looking to sell, and it happens to be a bit of buyer's market. You accept a good offer based on an inspection. Now the inspector finds the basement never had it's permits pulled, and the buyer wants thousands off to get it back up to code.
Never mind the insurance
Never mind the fact that its a good idea to have somebody else double check your work on "things that can start fires."
Yes, it's a hassle. Yes, it will add a few dollars to your monthly tax bill. But I still think it's a good idea.

I sold my house with an unpermitted basement reno. It wasn't an issue and this is a buyer's market.
