Permits in San Antonio

[Florencio Moreno]

Anyone from San Antonio have experience with pulling permits vs not pulling them?  Here's my situation... I'm currently flipping a house built in the 1930s.  Pulling permits means I would have to bring electrical up to code, possibly plumbing and who knows what else.  I'm installing a central AC unit, so electrical upgrades are required.  To bring it up to code I'm looking at an extra $1500 minimum.  I'm trying to keep the costs to a minimum so need some advice on what to do.  I've been quoted a price for functional vs up to code.  I've also done roof, foundation, drywall etc…
