[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4110175, member: 27991"] 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. [/QUOTE]
