In Tempe, Arizona, a homeowner shared frustration after their renovation was paused by the city. The work itself was minor. A wall removal and some electrical updates.

The problem was not the work quality. It was the missing permit. The contractor assumed it was not required, and the homeowner trusted that assumption.

Trades in the comments reminded everyone that permits protect both sides. Skipping them can stop a project instantly and create bigger issues later when selling the property.
