Default Permitting: rat on neighbor?

The neighbor across the street, one house over, is installing some
kind of driveway. Kind of like a carport, but right now it looks like
it just has sides but no roof.

Definitely some earth moving going on.

My impression is that they didn't get a permit for this.

I'm a pretty live-and-let-live kind of guy, so I'd rather not rat on
him. (NB: do not know him.) Is there a reason in terms of me
protecting myself (i.e., my property value) to rat on him that could
outweigh my discomfort in doing so?

County here is pretty strict about permitting. I put in a shed (HD
Big Max Jr) and never got it permitted, though I did read up on the
regs about offsets. Somehow this other operation seems like a bigger
deal.



Why don't you read up on the regs for your neighbor's project, and if it
looks like he's doing it right, then mind your own business?
