How did the county know you replaced your deck?

Hidden observation posts outside Home Depot; microphones concealed in
street lamps to pick up repeated hammer blows?

Â* He pulled permits .

We built a free standing deck near our garden and didn't get a permit to
build it. Also built a pool deck, and then dismantled it when we sold
the pool and never got a permit.

Didn't seem to matter. Our property taxes keep going up every couple of
years, anyway.

Â*Â* I'm not sure where we stand tax-wise , a lot depends on the finished
value of the house we're building . I do know there is a provision about
age 65 and no tax increases . Permit-wise , we don't need 'em out here
in the woods . No building codes out here either . Doesn't mean I'm
going to cut corners ...
