The Hidden Cost of 'Cheap' Labor
Supplier Debt Lawsuits
Cheap contractors often rob Peter to pay Paul. When they default on lumber bills for your project, Belton law allows suppliers to sue you directly for the balance.
Stop Work Orders
City inspectors patrol Belton daily. Unpermitted work gets red-tagged immediately. You will pay **double permit fees** plus administrative fines to resolve it.
Bankruptcy Risk
A single injury on your property can exceed your homeowner's liability cap. Uninsured 'handymen' expose your personal savings to massive medical claims.
