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

    Oh for sure, skunks are adorable little creatures. If I could spare the room I'd totally get one that's scent glands are removed. Most people fear being sprayed, so I get why people aren't too keen on having one as a pet. I had pet mice growing up, but always wanted to get a pet rat. How many...

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

    Owning a pet skunk would be wild, but taking it out of its natural habitat seems wrong to me. I know sometimes the only way to save an animal is to take it in, maybe some skunk owners do it because the skunk can't live in the wild anymore. In my opinion, I think they should stay as wild animals...

    Permits for raffles?

    I second this, found this info doing a little research myself, and it's mostly the same info I was able to find. This site should be exactly what OP needs: https://sos.tn.gov/node/405

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

    Well I don't think I saw this coming, but it's now legal in Iowa for teachers and school staff to carry guns on school property. The Iowa Senate recently approved a bill with a vote of 30-14, allowing exactly that. School employees would of course need to obtain a permit to carry, but that seems...

    Article Proposed Commercial Conversions Present Exciting Opportunities

    Great article, very informative. I like seeing steps taken to help with the housing crisis in the US. I think utilizing underused and underutilized property to help with said housing crisis is a step into the right direction. We have so many abandoned houses, properties and more just rotting...

    Do permits expire?

    Yeah to my knowledge a learners permit is only temporary, at least until you obtain your driver's license. I've known people who have renewed their learners permit and didn't bother getting their actual license. All they needed to do was take the driver's test, but she failed the first two times...

    City of Long Beach to give away free vending carts to help push vendors to comply with regulations

    Well that is certainly one way to get vendors to follow the rules, or incentivize them to do so. Now I am wondering what their plans are for phase 3 or future phases. Because I can see this drawing more food/street vendors in. Free stuff is always a good incentive. I wonder how many people...

    Building an inground pool by myself, bad or good idea?

    Appreciate the fast response. I will dig through those links soon. Bookmarking now! :) I wonder if I could even put a pool in my yard with those rules. 10 feet away from the home/property line should be doable, but I don't know if I can get 20 feet away from my septic tank. I'd have to check...

    Building an inground pool by myself, bad or good idea?

    This summer I would like to build my own in-ground swimming pool, as it's always been a dream of mine to have one. What is needed in order to get the ball rolling? I know I need to make sure where I dig doesn't have any electrical in the way, along with any water pipes. I'm sure I will need to...

    Permits required for a street march protest in Los Angeles.

    The problem I see is that there are often a lot of protests that go unpermitted, or ones that just happen due to a horrible action by the city, or there is mass outcry for an event that took place in the city. I think we're in an age where protests are going to get bigger and bigger, and we're...

    Misunderstanding certifications with permits

    So they essentially overproduced and that's how they ended up penalizing this person? I guess it makes sense. But is a bit annoying that they penalize people in this way. But I suppose when you're not fully permitted or in this case, certified to do such sales, then it makes sense to be...

    Local permit for short-term rentals required for an Airbnb business?

    The best thing you can do to start, is to research your local laws on whether your region requires a permit or not for short-term rentals. Some locations will require a permit, while others will not. Research and comply with local regulations in order to avoid any legal issues down the road...

    Understanding the permits required to hold festivals and fairs in the city of San Antonio

    Hosting a festival has got to be one of the toughest things to wrangle together. From the fact that you need insurance, you need permits for every food vendor, and more. I have helped with online festivals in the past and they were quite rewarding, but with a live event there is a lot more to...

    The Portland City council has recently approved a new ruling that would help streamline the permitting process by combining the permitting functions of multiple bureaus into one with the Bureau of Development Services (BDS for short). Starting in July, their aim is to improve upon the customer...

    Should you set up a bounce house without a permit?

    Yeah it's something to consider if you go the route of setting this all up without the proper permit. The liability falls on the homeowner or the person hosting the party. Especially if a child ends up getting injured and the bounce house was never permitted to begin with. Not only could you...

    New bill allowing for trapping, neutering & releasing feral cats in South Dakota

    It would be great if this sort of measure is done in every state and even every country. Feral cats and dogs can be a problem, especially if their population isn't in check. In some areas there is no control and the rise in cat population causes problems. If it's not the state or government...

    Should you set up a bounce house without a permit?

    I think the first thing that comes to mind is the children, and their safety. Especially when it comes to a bounce house at a preschool birthday party. I think most people would be able to get away with not getting a permit. But there is a risk that city officials and law enforcement could come...

    Hiking Mt. Whitney - any advice on how to get permits?

    One thing of note, I'm sure like yourself, there are many people looking to obtain said permit. I can see a lot of people flooding their systems come April 22nd, so keep that in mind. I don't know if getting this permit is in high demand, but I assume it is, and therefore I can see a swarm of...

    Attempts to regulate street vending in Orange County

    I would imagine in most major cities they may be dealing with a lot of these street vendors. It's become a massively popular thing to do these days, especially if you can land yourself a food truck you can pull around the city almost anywhere you want. I think there's going to be a lot more of...

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

    Yes they were allowed to work if they obtained a work permit. The new rules will allow them to work some jobs without the need for a permit. I don't know how easy it was to obtain a permit at that age before the new rules, but I'm sure there are some extra steps they might have had to do...
