We would like to get a demo permit search going before option period just so we can be sure there aren't any restrictions and move as quickly as possible if not, but the owner is very reluctant to sign this permit.  

I was a new comer to the world of REI about 8 months ago and i sat on BP constantly, just trying to soak up as much information as possible.

I bet even if the city couldent commit money to this, if done in the right area the city would be willing to provide some more police patrols and possibly some help in the obtaining of permits.

Here you need a permit (6k) which your neighbors get to weigh in on and you have to pay the hotel tax (9% I think).

City permits needed to be pulled on all of the extra work we needed to do.From torrential rain and flooding delays to the city permit delays.

I have been pulling my own permits and running the subs.

@Timothy Wilkins costs are very relative depending on site conditions, type of construction, utilities, permits, tap fees etc. best thing is to talk to some GCs that build that type of product.

The importance of a good team, permits, the process involved, Some tricks of the trade, and mush more.

I can see holes in this logic you could drive a truck through but I also thought it was a neat “outside the box” kind of idea.Lastly, if it’s a bigger job and you’ll definitely be pulling permits, you could go down to the building department and try asking in person who are some companies or contractors for that type of work who have had permits approved recently.

My home has no windows/doors/electricity/plumbing or HVAC and to make matters worse, Lender still owes me money for out of pocket permits that I paid in order to expedite repairs and they agreed to reimburse when renovation is complete.
