Legal Question in Construction Law in California

I live in county not the city. I have 20 acres of property in an agriculture zone. I got a letter in the mail from Code Enforcement. It states that someone reported me for adding on to my manufactured home without a permit. It is true. I had a room, garage and a bathroom added on but it is now complete. I am pretty sure everything was built to code but not positive. I called CE and they want to do an inspection now. I am not sure if I should allow them on my property or not. What should I do? I don't care about resale as I will live here until I die. Not sure if I should let them on my property or not. What should I do?

If you do not let them on the property they will find the additions were not to code and may order them torn down. Call your contractor and tell him the problems; I presume he is not licensed or he would have taken out the necessary permits.
