I have built structures with and without permits.
Also have many years experience in commercial construction.
Your question seems to expose a lack of self confidence.
Document everything you do with diagrams and pictures. Keep a written record of daily work.
If and when you sell, pass on the documentation with the place. Also, you could privately employ a home inspector to keep an independent record.
I personally don't like the building inspection system as designed, but at the same time caution that following the codes is generally a good thing. In the north (my bailiwick), freezing water lines, frost damage, and any defect in chimney or furnace design (wood stoves etc) are the most likely to cause problems later.
Where you are at perhaps wind damage - tornado and/or hurricane protection may be prime considerations.
