[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely bone-headed building code changed in MoCo and Arlington are responsible for a big part of the skyrocketing cost of additions. You basically can’t put an addition on top of a crawl space and concrete footers anymore. Everything has to be on foundation. And what’s more, that new foundation can’t just be next to the old one, it has to dig down underneath it to connect or some nonsense. So if you want to change your footprint you have to call in an excavator and a cement truck, engineers, etc. [/quote] When did this change? I put in a very large, permitted screened porch about 12 years ago in MoCo. It basically went over the footprint of the old deck, with no concrete/foundation needed. It was $45k, which seems modest compared to what I'm reading here. Is it going to be an issue when I sell if the building code changed? [/quote]
