It’s not as simple as just pulling the permit or adding the value right before you sell. The jurisdiction can make you open all the walls to verify sworn was done to code, impose fines, and if codes changed they can make you update the work to the new codes. Any good realtor will pull a history of work on a property so it’s not like you can sell your 2 bath house with 3 bathrooms unless it’s documented.

All the cities and counties by me make you get an affidavit signed and recorded by a plumber, electrician, engineer, etc (depending on improvement). So you can find unscrupulous “professionals” that will sign something just based on your testimony for relatively cheap. I know a few people that will do that but I’d never recommend them, cause that’d be a abdication of my professional duty IMO. Classic saying in my field is “there are engineers that’d stamp a dog turd for a buck”
