Hey guysI just had a meeting with the zoning and planning here in west haven ct. they denied my application of having a vacant land permitted to build a small house.

Rents rose and the cost of clothing increased sharply, but prices for used vehicles, medical care, drugs and recreation all declined.

Projected timeline from the GC: 6-8 weeks, were assuming 9-12 weeks due to permitting and delays in any materials. 

In Atlanta/metro, you have to have a "real" kitchen permitted, even in a backyard tiny house. 

The unknowns I have had to learn the hard way are everything you can not see using one point in time (pre buy inspection); i.e. subfloor wood rot in your crawlspace that no one caught (even though 4 people were down there at different times), permits (have people pulled them in the past for big things that were done on the property), septic drain lines (septic tank was amazing, but the drain lines were faulty had to get a permit and get the city to do an inspection and called for a 7,500 repair and partial mound system to be installed....when the original inspection and pump was aok because it was a dry time of year)...., speaking of time of year, a HVAC unit that was inspected in the winter and the differential was AOK, was inspected for a closing in the summer and had to be completely replaced (4k-that I wasn't supposed to have to spend), drainage issues on the property and water intrusion......no body really inspects for drainage issues prior to closing, especially when it's a dryer time of year, then BOOM the rain hits and water is coming in over the foundation because water is not being routed correctly around the house.

I have a basic understanding of the expenses I will incur however I am not sure if I will need any licensing or permitting or anything of that legal nature.

Occupancy permit yanked or condemned.3.

Do resolve this and get a permit while under contract.

Stat. 504B.161 permits just this type of system, but only if agreement supported by "adequate consideration" and "in a conspicuous writing." 

Some require you to get permits and register for room tax.
