permit fees in my area are based on the cost of the remodel. We did a
complete foundation replacement, a 12x22 extension/room addition, and new
sewer lines and the permit was about $400.

A friend who shall remain nameless called. He lives in the county in a
different state. He launched into a small addition with no permit. He
has it framed and dried in. He received a letter from the county ordering
him to cease and desist. He called wondering what they can do to him if
he just keeps going.

I didn't really have an answer. I did tell him that if there was a need
for the electric company to do any work on the service, they would not
perform without permit approval. Other than that, what can they do?
This guy is a bit of a renegade. I explained about the yes, sir/no,sir -
gee, I'm sorry approach. He's headed a bit more along the my castle, my
kingdom, damn the torpedoes approach.


I'm curious what a permit would cost him. Any idea?
