IMO they were hiding something or I didn't get good title search? It looks like it was installed up to code, but l'm not expert on code in Florida. Just saying take the time to read all them pages you are signing. Mine is 110 and outside I don't know if that makes difference or not looks like it been installed since the home was built?
You are absolutely correct, we bought a hot tub/spa with installation. Found out 18 months later the spa permit and the electrical permits were never pulled. When I went to the building department to fix this, I found out this has occurred many times, therefore, I have learned my lesson, I CHECK AND VERIFY that all permits are pulled and completed.
