If your local laws do not permit you to set their stuff out on the street, then you need to look into a prepaid storage locker.

Spring Hill issued more than 1,100 residential building permits for single-family homes since 2015, and over the past year its planning commission has rezoned and subdivided properties to accommodate thousands more, according to municipal records.David Bowater and his fiancée were priced out of Spring Hill when the rent on their two-bedroom townhouse rose to about $1,100, from $875, over four years.

Congrats on the house.In many areas, you can pull permits as the home owner.

My local  city officials make me jump thru hoops every time I ask for permits or inspections.

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if anyone has any samples on different forms you have contractors sign before a job. If not samples then advice. I want to make sure all of my contractors are on time and stick to a str...

We are operating a 50/50 JV where i deal with all the financing, legal, accounting, insurance etc and he deals with the permits, construction, contractors, architects and so on. 

Then I would immediate drive through every street in the area and write down the addresses of every new construction, in progress (then you can get builders contact from permit, if in front of house) or recently built homes.

I generally look at and calculate: Cost of land, plus construction cost, plus permits and fees, less vacancy and cost of funds (etc).

Your roofer should also be able to provide documentation stating it isn't born 3 layers, as his license wouldn't not allow him to install a 3rd layer (should be permitted and the town would balk at a 3rd layer also).This sounds frustrating, but these items are negotiations.

What completely made me walk from even considering the Allentown boundaries was hearing the city rental inspectors (yes, there really are "non essential government employees") yammering on about the importance of having a LICENSED plumber change a water heater in your rental.... after you have paid your poundage to the city inspection department for a  PERMIT to change such water heater, and then have it INSPECTED for the purpose of a STICKER on the appliance.... all in the name of safety!
