They just started a 300 yd benchrest,300 yd prone, and 300 yd M1a matches at the Ponca Range.
Erroneous info, for example Oklahoma County. It adopted Okc Code Enforcement and Oklahoma County Permits and Inspections are required. I believe the larger Cities in varying Counties adopted the City Codes and are enforcing them County wide. Oklahoma County was the first to adopt such a change.

a lot of people take the easement. i was told if you build on it and they need through for some reason they can whack out your structure. that being said i know the electric co was willing to work around barn in my easement.
also as to some other comments if a county inspector doesn't cover your area you are required to call the state inspector. no permit required all fine till they happen by and you get caught! could be a slim chance never know.
Permits are required for one purpose only; $$$$$
PAY to do what you want on YOUR property, then more importantly, reassess valuation for taxes on upgrades.
We had a chain link fence. Neighbors on both sides wanted a cedar fence. I offered to share cost with neighbor on east side. My fence on west side was 4" inside property line. When fence was put up (previous owner, I bought house with fence); neighbor had no fence and refused to share cost. He never bothered to inform me of his desire for a fence. His other neighbor had same discussion, when he had chain link installed, years before.
Both neighbors obtained permits. West side put up fence on the property line.
Tax assessor came by and raised MY valuation $7000, on less than $500 of fencing. I challenged the change. Assessor stated "privacy fence"
I countered with "side fence" neighbor permitted. I had chain link, front and back were not "privacy". Judge agreed and canceled the increase.
3 years later, west side neighbor sold. I took down front, chain link gate and put up 4' of cedar fence with gate. (We had a house fire, 7 years earlier. Had to have permits to rebuild. The permits were tacked to garage wall, never closed out, after final inspection)
I received another $7000 increase on reevaluation for improvement.
I challenged again, not a privacy fence, back fence was chain link. Assessor countered, open field in back and failure to permit. I presented my permit, stating Assessor's failure to close. Judge took reevaluation off and declared no failure to permit. Assessor was livid, but failed to close permit! The next Spring, I built on a den. Didn't get a permit or an upgrade evaluation.
They built the box, I figure out how to survive in their box.
The only permit required here, when we moved to Okla, was building a new house. Got a new City Manager, 10 years ago, from New Yawk. Got more permit requirements than Carter has peanuts, now.

As I was told, "they are there for YOUR protection."
He wasn't happy when I responded, " yeah, that's what Hitler told the Jews, as they loaded onto the cattle cars."

I understand certain codes and building requirements are, generally, for safety. Because Lord knows no one ever does anything stupid when building.
But, yeah...they always take it to the extreme and that's the frustrating part.
I had a new roof installed on my Colorado house. Of course it had to have a county permit, which the contractor got. County inspector came out at 2 different stages of completion to sign off before work could continue. I wasn't present for either so I don't know what he did other than initial the block on the permit. When he came out to do the final inspection he looked at the roof of our raised ranch type house from the parking apron, said it looked good, and signed off. I complained that he didn't get on the roof and inspect the work. He said he wasn't allowed to do that by county safety rules. No climbing on ladders.
WTF is the point of having an inspector if they aren't going to actually inspect? It's money. That's all it is. I do believe the codes are generally written for safety. I also believe permits and inspections are NOT about ensuring codes are followed. They're about raising money.

Built similar structures on several of our properties, except use twin 40ft shipping containers (four total) on each side (substitute roll-up doors for stock swing doors) with stick built center structure.
