Some of this **** is just BS. I have a full permit pulled on everything done on the house I am working on. It is my own and plan to flip it and make some money. It is a complete rebuilt from the inside out. I am just about done beside the yard work, or landscapeif you want to call it that and exterior painting. final's been signed off 3-4 weeks ago. I have a lovely new inspector around the area who decided to drop by uninvited. I think because he saw us painting. He demanded a permit for the rear door and made noise about shutting the job down. I replaced a rotted french door. WTF.

I always pull permits for all my jobs. It is just not worth it. My own house, not really except for the big stuff like a Kitchen remod. I built a 500sq' Ipe deck without it. It is so over built, you could could drive a tractor on it. The money I save on permits and engineering paid for more then 3/4 of the materials. Still they might not allow me to build it. When I sell, I just have to disclose it.
