    Fireworks business permits are being denied because of their obnoxious advertising

    Watched the video of them using their bullhorn. I can see neighboring businesses getting annoyed after a while. But, when you're working in a heavy business area, I'm sure there's a lot of commotion going on in the area. It sounds like anyone trying to advertise their business, or drum up...

    Is it possible to assume a seller's renovation permit?

    I would assume so if you've purchased the property. But to be on the safe side, it can't hurt to reach out to a local permitting office on what the next best step would be for assuming others permits. As long as the original permit was in good order and the person didn't cut corners and the work...

    Some HOAs have the power to override a permit

    I had no idea that was a thing either. At least where I live we don't have a HOA currently, but I know in some neighborhoods they do have HOAs and are very serious when it comes to what you can and can't do. I know they have their own set of rules that people in the neighborhood have to follow...

    Nebraska Legislature Passes Concealed Carry Bill Without Permit Requirement

    Personally I don't agree with a bill like this, because I really think everyone should have a permit before they can carry a gun. That's just how I feel and I don't think it's safe otherwise. I'm all for allowing people to carry, as long as there is a paper trail indicating as such. I don't feel...

    Commercial cannabis permitting processes in six California jurisdictions

    It's kind of known that the cannabis industry is still growing. It's also still new, as a lot of states just legalized it for recreational/medicinal use. So there is going to be some growing pains when it comes to the full on process. Rules and aspects of the permit will probably change over the...

    If self driving cars become a reality, will we be required to have a permit for one?

    That's a good question. I think we're a ways off from self driving cars being mass produced for the public, but I do see them happening eventually. We already have cars that can somewhat self drive for you, but they still require a driver to be alert and at the wheel. When the time comes and it...

    Article here: https://www.koco.com/article/oklahoma-city-parks-charge-photographer-for-phot-shoots/60323956 Oklahoma City may be doing something professional photographers might not like, and that's requiring a permit in order for them to shoot in city parks. But the kicker, they would be...

    Grabbing a permit..

    I think it depends on the permit itself. Some may be granted fast depending on the department, and some might take days, weeks, or months even. As well like you said, it could very from state to state, but also city to city. Some places are understaffed, and may not grant permits in a timely...

    Contractor suggests skipping out on permits for $50K Kitchen remodel, bad idea?

    I would not risk it, that contractor is not going to have that persons best interest in mind if he doesn't go through the permitting process. He's just being lazy and won't do the job he's likely being paid to do in the first place. It would save the homeowner some money, sure, but it wouldn't...

    Legality of someone building a bridge on your own land?

    Yeah I didn't even think of that. The neighbor should have originally been liable if so. Unless the first bridge was co-built by the neighbor and the previous owner maybe? Calling the CDFW sounds like a good idea too, more options to fight it is always a plus in my book. And yeah, same here...

    Two common reasons for application denial

    Which is why I am always asking questions, and making sure I am 100% ready to go with any plans I have submitted before I have any work done. If I'm ever confused about the process, I ask questions, or do some research to find out for sure. I don't like risking it, so I play by the rules. I've...

    Is it legal to own a skunk as a pet in Iowa?

    Awwww, I for sure want pet rats now. 😍 And that's good they get them used to humans right away. We got our mice from a town fair growing up. They used mice for this wheel game, where if they chose a hole you bet on, you get a prize. At the end of the fair they were giving away mice and we landed...

    Legality of panhandling and does it require a permit in some areas?

    Here in Wisconsin you're legally allowed to panhandle as long as you're not doing what is called "Aggressive Panhandling". Which happens to be illegal here, and could get you in trouble for disorderly conduct. The reason it's allowed is because it's a part of the free speech rights in Wisconsin...

    Legality of someone building a bridge on your own land?

    Thanks for the fast response. I hope I never have to deal with neighbors like that person is dealing with. I really think his best option, is to get lawyers involved and stop the process as soon as possible, because I don't think the state or city is going to move fast enough on this.

    Iowa Senate approves bill allowing teachers and school staff to carry guns

    And another thing, what if these students somehow get their hands on these guns? We also don't know if these teachers will be properly trained. It says they will have tons of training, but will they retain it? If anything, I'd rather a guards placed in our schools than putting guns in the hands...

    What's the difference between a permit and a certification?

    I look at it this way, a permit is usually something you're required to obtain for certain means. But a certification is voluntary, and usually not always needed. A certification usually verifies something or someone's work as legitimate. You don't always need certification to obtain a permit to...
