I see; it doesn't look as simple as I originally thought it would be, and it's probably not worth the hassle nor upsetting my neighbors. I'll have to weigh this decision some more before making a decision.

It's not a requirement here. I think most people think nothing of it. We just take it for granted that you go to the store, buy one, and install it or hire someone who can. It's no different from installing a fridge or stove.

That's a tough question. From what I found on the web, the Redditor would simply need permission from the landowner to remove the offending tree, rather than a permit.

Blind scoring should help, but it would still be easy to determine who had submitted the application just based on the applicant's responses. I guess nothing is going to be full proof, though.

Do you believe I'd need a permit to dam up the stream that runs through my property? I'm not sure where the stream originates; I also don't know where it ends exactly. I'd like to use it to irrigate my garden, but the stream bed gets pretty dry during July and August when we receive less rain...

That's a good idea and I hope it passes. Unfortunately, abandoned buildings quickly become drug dens and a squatters' paradise, which are liabilities for the community. I can just imagine one of them catching fire.

That's pretty weird, but I've seen similar scenarios happen. My boss is an intelligent, successful businessman, but he wildly assumed that receiving a building permit also meant that his architect designed a home that could withstand the natural disasters that are prominent in our area. He...

If you're from the US, and you're planning to visit a European country in 2025, then you should learn more about the European Travel Information and Authorization System. It's a special travel document that covers most of Europe and is set to take effect in May of next year. Traveling can be...

Amazing! I didn't expect to get so many helpful replies. That's what I love about this community; members are always friendly and willing to share their knowledge. My family and I sure appreciate the help. You've given us a lot to think about as we move towards the big day.

Thanks for the info. I always find it interesting to see how different localities handle the issue. In my city, the health department would likely get to condemn the structure if it was too far gone. Then the owner would be required to either bring it up to code, or to apply for a demoing...

I know that I would need a permit to add a deck to my house. However, I'm not sure if I'd need one if the deck was meant to be temporary. In our case, it's only going to be used for a wedding ceremony, before it will be taken apart and relocated. The structure will run alongside our home, and...

I believe the old adage is that, "A picture is worth a thousand words.” Well, the photo accompanying this article speaks for itself. I'm glad to hear that things are wrapping up and that the changes will take effect in July. It's been a long time coming! I'm also pleased that a new landcover...

I know that obtaining a permit to sell liquor is quite expensive in many places. Plus, some areas charge individual fees for each type of alcoholic beverage, which adds to the overall cost.

Those who hope to come to the United States for work or travel can now track their permit status online. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services released a handy tool called myProgress. The tool allows applicants to receive regular status updates, including an estimation of how much longer...

From what I've read, the Environmental Science Advisory Board and the Environmental Permitting Review Commission were basically used to circumvent the permitting process by EGLE. Both the advisory board and review commission contained members who weren't considered experts in their field, too.

They're a huge tourist area, so I wonder if the rise of air Airbnb short-term rentals might've influenced their decision to create this safety initiative.

We're considering taking the modular home route and having it placed on my father's land. Would we need to get a residential building permit, since it will be a residence?

If she doesn't want to go through the process of setting up a business and applying for the proper permits, she should consider listing her services on Rover. It would be an easy way to test out whether she'd enjoy the work before making such a huge financial investment.

It can drastically affect your property's value, which in turn, has a knock-on effect with your whole neighborhood. I've been through it, unfortunately. One of my neighbors sloppily installed his own septic system without a permit and without having it inspected. It promptly failed and...

I was surprised to learn that I'd need a special park permit if the crowd grew to a certain number. Luckily, the department worked with me to get my application through the process as quickly as possible.
