Can a city cancel a permit without notifying the owner in Florida? I had a permit to put up a fence two years ago, and when I called the zoning office to inform them that I had finished the work, they told me the permit had been canceled, and I now have to go through the process again and pay a fee for doing the work without a permit.

I have an emergency sewer backup situation in O'Fallon, MO. The company I hired got their line stuck in our main drain, left us with a partially functioning sewer system, and did not honor a verbal agreement to charge only $165 for their services. They dug up my front yard, left a mess, and did not complete the job. The city is now repairing it for $350, which I had to pay. Do I have any reason to take legal action against the company?
