How did you get a permit without an inspection and being up to code? Is it just something you buy in your county?

I drew a square on a map, they stamped it, and that was that. And for record I built to minimum code, but no one was looking.

permits depend on location. Big difference between say NYC and unincorporated land in BFE.
