Re: Garage addition

After one final round of BS with the city over the permit they are issuing it today. They made us get the framing and foundation stamped for 'our own protection' they said. They forced us to get a certified plot plan also for the permit. Both things aren't required in most cities but ours just happens to be dicks! They forced us to spend $3,000 extra to get the mere $600 permit. Ridiculous! GC is making some calls and trying to line up the demo for Friday finally.

Good grief the useless government bureaucrats are really entrenched in your city. You folks should clean house on some of them.

Here is our fee schedule:

Building Permit Fee $25.00 minimum

Fee for building a new building, additions, garages, mobile homes, modular homes: $.06 per square foot with the minimum fee being $25.00

Fee for building renovation or remodeling, etc. $4.00 per thousand of estimated cost, minimum fee of $25.00

Looking forward to pictures of your project.
