    Maine family faces big fines over unpermitted cabins

    And that's why you never build anything until you gain the required permits. Even if you feel it would be okay to do, always verify with someone. Maybe the permitting office or your building contractor. Now they're are stuck with a $250K bill, and likely not much they can do but to pay it. My...

    Get online updates on your work and travel permits

    Awesome, a friend of mine is interested in moving to the states to make a life for herself here finally, so she will have to go through this process in order to come over. It's good that there are tools like this readily available for those who are traveling from other countries. I imagine it's...

    YC alum just raised $31M to build PermitFlow ‘TurboTax for construction permitting’

    Good, there should be a system that makes the permitting easy. Make it to where you can go on, and they guide you through the process. That's what I would expect if they're trying to make it like "TurboTax" for permitting needs. Every location should have a system like this in place, because to...

    What would be considered the most expensive permit to obtain?

    Nice, are those the most expensive permits you were able to find? That is pretty expensive to just climb up Everest, but it is a massive mountain and those fees probably include stuff for rescues, because I imagine a lot of people are stuck up there or have trouble getting down. Of course I...

    Permit fees increasing

    Yeah some areas aren't going to implement increases unless they really feel the need to. I would hope it goes towards the state and whatever they need. Yeah a $2 jump isn't too bad. It's when that price is increased by double or triple the original fee. I don't see that happening here though...

    Mississippi anglers might need a Recreational Offshore Landing Permit

    Which is why it's a good idea to obtain said permit while you're in the process of obtaining the license to fish in saltwater. I know people who got their license, and didn't get the permit. If the system would implement it alongside the time you file for the license, I think it would save a lot...

    What would be considered the most expensive permit to obtain?

    This is more about curiosity than anything. I know some projects, especially building projects can cost a lot for the permitting process, but is there a permit out there that is deemed the most expensive ever? I looked it up, and building permits can be high, but that makes sense if you're...

    What to do when a non-permitted vehicle is parked near your apartment/property?

    That sounds annoying. If you're dealing with a vehicle that's blocking you, and they don't have a permit to park there, there are some steps you can take to take care of this. Cambridge, MA has the Commonwealth Connector app. I would suggest utilizing that, as it allows you report such issues to...

    Do you look for workers who are safety certified?

    I'm not sure. I would assume as long as you're certified to work in the field, it shouldn't matter. I know there's a lot of certifications depending on the type of work you do. Aren't most contractors certified in contracting to begin with? I suppose it can't hurt to hire workers who are...

    Are Permits usually required to be a dog walker?

    My cousin is looking to start a dog walking business in Tampa Florida, she's great with dogs and has always wanted to be a dog walker recently because of it. She originally wanted to be a vet, but she decided not to go that direction due to it being too much for her. Is a permit required in...

    Recreational pilot's permit in Indiana?

    That's awesome of you. You're an awesome uncle! :) I hope he has a blast learning to fly. Weird, why is the age 17 and not 18? I suppose starting at 17 gives you time to train so when you do turn 18 you'll be ready to fly? That's my guess anyway. I was going to take of flight training in my...

    Should you pull a permit for a basement remodel?

    Yeah probably best to be on the safe side and pull the necessary permits. You want to make sure everything is done within code, though not just about following regulations, it's also meant to ensure safety and integrity of your house. I know it's not an easy process to take on, especially with...

    Confined space entry permit needed?

    I did some research online, and it's possible a permit might be required for this type of work. A permit may be required in any of these situations: Contains or has a potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere. Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant. Has an...

    Rhode Island simplifies permitting process

    It's good to see more states improving upon their permitting system and services. There are still a lot of states behind on doing this. We need the permitting process to be easier for people if anything. Are those the only permits they allow so far? Or do they cover the majority of permits?

    Why is this a rule?

    I think it's due to them needing an exact address of where the build is going to be. Which I think makes sense, because the city will want to know the exact location of the build. I'm sure people have tried to file a permit for a random location, but I would imagine their permit would be...

    People want services, but not in their backyard

    Yeah it's the cost citizens have to make if they want natural gas in their community. I personally am split on it myself. I understand we need to find ways of providing this fuel without making it a burden on the citizens. I think having drilling being done in less densely populated areas is...

    New law passed Allowing 14 and 15-Year-Olds to Work Without Permits

    A new law has been passed in West Virginia that will now allow those aged 14 & 15 to work without the need for a work permit. The aim is to bring work experience to the youth in the area. There was a lot support for the new bill in the House of Delegates, as it easily passed with a vote of 83...

    Missing revenue from permitless firearms?

    Sounds like they're running things poorly if that's the case. No police force should be relying on permit sales to keep the place running properly. I thought the state paid the police force, or the government since they're public servants right? That's how I always assumed things go. Plus like...

    Are you usually required to get a permit when owning a stun gun/taser?

    That is a good question. I've always assumed the focus was on just guns and such, but I think it'd make sense to have to get a permit for something like a stun gun or taser. They are potentially deadly tools, so it's not like everyone should be able to get one. But, part of me worries about...
