there's no way i'd get one for that purpose. You'll only run into a bunch
of bs you don't really want (or need) to do, and drive your taxes up.

I want to finish my basement....I'm putting up 2 walls and some
electrical. I realize that by law I'm suppose to get a permit but
lots of people are telling me not to even bother. It will increase my
taxes substantially and that's about it.
Someone was telling me that in Ottawa about 50% don't get permits to
finish their basements.
