Almost 40 years ago. Things have changed a bit. From Harry's county web site "Property owners may construct their own dwelling on their own property without a license (with proper permits). " Since these are generally state law, I am sure I could do it in PG too. I do agree, the process is more complicated these days but that is what happens when the government gets to be out of control. The inspection process has not changed much and that is where safety comes in. Why is the government out of control? The electrician and plumber who did my genny got their permits without delays or difficulties, and the inspectors came out in short order. I simply what qualifies for a fast tracked (while you wait) on the Calvert County web site. They are really just for things that should not really need one anyway. (sheds, decks etc) At a certain point it is just a building tax. Permits here are tougher than they are in Maryland but it is mostly just corporate welfare, benefitting people with a large compliance department over the small guy. That is true of most government regulation tho. If you can send a bunch of lawyers and some carefully targeted campaign contributions, regulation really does not apply to you. And permits are just vehicles to let the tax man know that you are improving the property. So they can up your tax bill in the next cycle. Around here, taxes are not really dependent on permits. I have done a few things without a permit but it still showed up promptly on my taxes. They look at aerials every year and do an on site inspection about every 2 years. They don't really do the inspections sequentially by address so they may be there to look at your neighbor's house but they still may take a peek at yours. |
