Yeah I'd say they take these things seriously. It must suck for the homeowner being stuck with this land and not being able to build on it. As well, I see he has to replant the trees at some point. I think what would be great, is if he could donate the trees to be planted anywhere, so that he...

Great points. I agree with Eric on this too. And totally, the remodel itself is what helps bring in a better estimate. Having a permit will help, but you are right, some of that work could have been done unpermitted perfectly fine and no one might ever find out.

For those wondering, Casitas are essentially smaller homes, or smaller buildings that can be added to a single family property. They usually call them accessory dwelling units, or ADUs for short. I noticed a lot of other places accepting ADUs on properties, and it's cool to see Arizona taking...

Public parks are a great location to host a lot of events. I have gone to weddings, graduation parties, cookouts, and general celebrations at my local parks in the past. There are other options out there too, like going to community centers or taking it to a lake or beach. But I think out of the...

100% agree. It's a lot safer to go this route, as it ensures the population doesn't increase, and any strays still out there are also safe. And I agree, they should do the same for dogs and other pets that are known to overpopulate. Especially when it comes to other types of pets that go missing...

First thing I'd do is check to see if your property falls within the zoning areas (R1-R5) and if it's a 1 or 2 family house. This is the first step to take when it comes to building a fence that is around 20 feet long or so and up to 6 feet tall. If your property doesn't fall within said zones...

I can understand the frustration, but It's ideal that the redditor first check with their local rules and HOA requirements. Verifying both can go a long way in ensuring their builds are within the specific rules and regulations especially with safety and the compliance of local codes. HOAs may...

If you happen to live in San Diego and like to workout in public, you may be required to first obtain a permit in order to do so. At least in certain areas. On your property you'll be fine to workout to your years content. There was a revision on the municipal code that made it illegal for...

That's pretty cool. When it comes to hiking Half Dome in Yosemite, here are a few things you should keep in mind regarding the permit process. First things first, the permit type matters. For day hikers for example, 300 permits are available per day. You can apply through a pre-season lottery...

I think the main takeaway is that permits provide comfort when there is a lot of work done on the property. If you want to also sell the property later, the costs of not being permitted could come back to haunt you when the sale of the property doesn't go down. I don't think it can enhance the...

Thanks for all the answers guys. This topic blew up, so cool! :) Yeah I think it's best to reach out to your local building department or even permitting office and ask them. Most places differ. Yeah I'm in agreement there. It's worth it to pay for it, because if you don't, the price when...

I know in some areas they offer expedited permit services for an additional fee, you could look into that. I would inquire directly with the department in regards to mobile food trucks. Of course there's no guarantee this service will be offered in your area, but it's worth checking with the...

I wouldn't skip out on the permits. Find a way to get a hold of them. @Emily C had a good point of just going to their office and speaking to them that way. I don't like talking on the phone myself, I feel like in person is always easier to get your point across. So that's the route I would go...

I am always for affordable housing, but I don't know if it's going to work the way they want to do it. I'm hopeful they can find a way, but it sounds like they will cut one thing to help the other. And I don't see that really working all too well. But, we do need affordable housing, more than...

Found an article about an upcoming moose hunt in Nevada. If you happen to live in Nevada, you can now take part in an upcoming moose hunt expected to happen this fall. The big reason for this hunt is due to the significant growth in the moose population within the state. It has risen to over 100...

Here in Wisconsin you are not required to obtain a permit and are legally allowed to own a pet gila monster. Though there may be some rules and regulations owners need to follow. As for the story about the person dying from a Gila monster bite. I think most wild animals turned pets are a risk...

I has been proven that crypto mining puts out a lot of heat, and if you're running a facility with tons of machines mining your crypto, that's going to put off even more heat. It's not something I see being great for the environment, and if you ever heard a machine in action, it's pretty loud...

Found another reddit discussion that I feel would make for a great discussion here, you can view the reddit post here. A UT student wants to organize a bake sale/lemonade stand off-campus, as a means to fundraise for cancer research and support services. What type of permits would usually be...

Sounds similar to other similar plans around the world. I know some other cities and states have adopted the accessory dwelling units. Some will call them tiny homes/houses. Usually small additions to the original property that can be used as another living space. It's pretty cool that the...

This is great news for Canadian citizens, especially those who don't need to do extensive remodeling and structural work. I think this is a good move to help make permitting more easier, especially when the work is not really comparable to the likes of an addition to a house or tons of work. One...
