Permits

We are in the process of obtaining our permits! Yay!


My husband went to the county offices and requested our permits.We requested our driveway permit, septic permit, drainage form on Tuesday this week. The septic permit and the drainage permit were issued to him the same day. 
When requesting a driveway permit, they give you three stakes you must place in the ground one at each property line (3 feet from the roadway) and one in the center of where your driveway will be located. A highway department individual will come and check the stakes, to check for 500 or so feet of visibilty coming out of your driveway.  If it passes their checks you are issued the permit. My husband was told it could take anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks for someone to verify the stakes and get your permit approved.  We placed the stakes in the ground last night (Wednesday) and this morning my husband recieved a call that our permit had been issued.  They will mail you the permit or you can pick it up at their office, he is going to pick it up today!




Today he went to City Hall to the building inspector to request our building permit. He had to give the inspector the floorplan, the building permit is based off of square footage of your home.  He paid for the permit, and it should be ready later this afternoon for him to pick up!

Moving right along with permits, we are meeting our contractor this evening to finalize our plans!
