[quote=ryphoenix]It’s not just the fee, although $150 or so isn’t anything to sneeze at. It’s mostly the inconvenience and time requirement. I need to get the permit (1-3 hours I heard, DMV wait style), baby sit the plumbers + inspection, and go 24 hours without gas. Considering I’m paid by the hour right now it’s just painful.
As long as the risk is very low then I think it’ll be okay to skip a permit.[/quote]
Counter permits are a lot faster than that these days… not 1-3 hours. Assuming you’re talking city of San Diego, planning services dept. It’s dead there… if you show up, you’ll have multiple clerks to help you.
(Hubby had to get a permit pulled for a work project a few weeks ago.)
