[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are often very misinformed on permitting requirements, to include realtors.

Ask a realtor the difference in a 20amp v 15amp circuit :)

Ask a realtor if a closet is require for a bedroom :)

City and county websites are often not accurate, you have to go to the permitting office or zoning office to obtain the most accurate information.

Permits ensure the MINIMUM standards are met, not necessarily the safest/most bestest.  Please don’t flame me for my words.  Ohh and the minimum is debatable, even by inspectors.

I’ve seen all this first hand.

You cannot determine if a shower meets code without breaking it apart and the inspector used to floated mud beds doesn’t know how to inspect schluter kerdi.  That doesn’t exactly ensure no leaks!

Minimum codes are better than nothing.  We've had good inspectors tell us that it meets code but it's not done great or xxx should be done this way but we pulled our own permits so they spoke to us directly.  Inspectors aren't usually construction folks but sometimes they do have helpful advice and guidance.  It just depends on who you get.
