I had a friend get hosed by the city after buying a house and remodeled it.

Neighbors calld the city because of all the work going on.

So code enforcement shows up and tells him he needed permits to do all the work that was done even dry wall.

Pretty soon you will need a permit to take a piss.

But not to worry all the permit money will only make the city safer

prolly wasnt the nieghbors , part of a mail carriers job is to report construction thats why permits are supposed to be on the front of the house if the mailman dont see one he makes a report

some if it I think is good for safety issues, but if I wanna build a fence, I don't I should have to drop cash on a building permit, its just another way for the city to squeak out some revenue.

My sister lives in gayahoga falls and she said up there you even need a permit for things like painting and carpet..... this shit is rediculous

[serpentracer]

man the company I work for does work at the request of the home owners all the time without a permit.

if we get caught without one they pretty much don't give a shit if you give them their money.

if you have all the work done already etc.

if you show them proof a licensed contractor did the work etc the inspectors tend to go pretty easy on you.

also, you've always needed permits to do any kind of major work. it keeps idots from killing people by building things wrong.

The building department is so slow in Stark County right now they are driving around in the country looking for anyone doing any sort of work on their house and checking for permits.

+1, this kinda stuff is exactly what we dont need the govt doing and why i cant figure out why people think the govt wont have any money if we get rid of the income tax.

it's not that i dont like the idea of making sure the idiot who owned a home before me didnt build something dangerously wrong, but rather that i HATE the entire concept of needing permission from the government to anything these days. Wanna own a dog? gotta get permission, wanna build on your house, gotta get permission. wanna hunt an animal for food, gotta get permission...

Sounds like you could have some fun with them. Oh, the possibilities to catch on tape!

I thought it was a piece of paper, not a magic forcefield?

the inspectors come to look at the work being done.

for instance, if I build a deck, I have to show them the plans first and get them approved. second, post holes have to be inspected for correct size and depth. (but oddly they don't have to be inspected with the concrete in them)

then they come out to do a final inspection after it's finished.

it's just checks and balances really. in springdale(by tri-county mall in cincinnati) they don't charge for permits. but you still have to get one.

Don't fret guys, with Obama in office we won't need to worry about any of that soon. We'll just sit around watching Days of Our Lives and Springer while Uncle Sam takes care of everything for us.
