Tahoe isn't ideal right now as the local community is vehemently anti-Airbnb and the permitting system is challenging to navigate.

You also mentioned meters, do you have to separate meters, get approval from the city and pull permits?

How unique can you get a permit?

I've had some not happy when I have asked them to split it out.I've tried asking questions to the IRS customer service reps, and didn't have the best luck.While I cannot cite a specific official guidance on this issue, I consider debit cards exempt.

Good points.I'd add square, level, plumb - license, insurance, bond - using permits to follow codepointing out problems the owner doesn't realize they have that are serious.

Had an issue with trying to self-permit a build a few years back that was an HPR but had an "A" and "B" designation.
