Legal Question in Real Estate 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?

You should have obtained a permit. You'd better work with the County now, or they will get a court order requiring you to tear it down and you will waste a lot of time and money and go through a lot of heartache.
