I'm surprised that they're so lenient, since skunks are wild animals. I know they're calling them domesticated skunks, but how domesticated can they really be? I guess I'm just skeptical. Eric, your rats are adorable. What made you interested in caring for such an unusual pet?

I had no idea that it was a possibility until Friday when it happened to me. The city approved my permit to build an addition to our home. The contractor had already started when we received a cease and desist letter from the HOA. I plan to appeal it, but I'm shocked that the HOA has the...

How exciting to have a professional on board here. I'm sure we'll pick your brain over on the forum. It's fantastic to have an insider in the crowd. May I ask how long you've been in this field, Janet?

Nice choice for a username, Goodness. I dig it! Welcome to the group. We have a mix of professionals and laymen around here, and I'd say there's something for everyone. I'm glad you joined us.

Yes, unfortunately, Learner's Permits are typically only good for one year. Your permit should have its expiration date on it. I didn't think cops could initiate random traffic stops without cause. Were you speeding or violating any other traffic laws? Some states have a graduated license...

In my state, you only need to worry about getting on the business tax registration books for each city that you're operating in. That's the statewide rule. Locally, you would need to obtain a permit to run a short-term rental. Some cities around here have that requirement, while others do...

I doubt I'd give it much thought, unless I needed to park there and the unpermitted car was taking up the space. If that was the case, I'd likely have it towed. Otherwise, I'd just assume the driver was there to visit a resident.

What an interesting topic! I went to college in Tennessee, and in that state you didn't need a permit to carry a stun gun or Taser. Lots of students carried them around on campus at night. I believe many states have similar laws on the books that allow those without a criminal record to...

I bet some domestic violence abusers and parole violators take great advantage of the loophole that enables them to avoid a background check for three years. I strongly support gun rights, but I believe ownership should be done safely, so I also support background checks. No one needs a new...

In most places, I believe they look at factors such as the deck's size, how far it is off the ground, whether it is attached to the home, and whether it will be used as a main entrance/exit to the home. I'd look into the exact requirements that trigger the need for a permit in your area, then...

Last week, a large bully breed attacked a child in my city. It's the third time that an aggressive bully breed harmed a vulnerable person this year. I've checked my local ordinances and can't find any laws that require owners to get special permits to own bully breeds within the city. I'd...

How sad, really. It's almost as though they're saying that an increase in marriages leads to an increase in domestic violence. It's like they're expecting domestic assault to go up.

Has anyone stumbled across a good resource for small businesses to refer back to when it comes to health and safety permits? I figured we could share our findings and keep it all in one place as a reference.

Thank you so much for sharing your research with me, @Winny. You've been incredibly helpful. I tried finding the information, but I had less luck with Google. Sadly, I'll have to come up with another gift idea, because my nephew is too young. I'll keep this one in my back pocket for his 18th...

Does anyone know how to go about getting a recreational pilot's permit in Indiana? I have a nephew who is interested in becoming a pilot, and I'd like to surprise him with flying lessons for his birthday.

I don't believe we do enough to protect our wetlands as it is, so this bill is especially concerning to me. What are the odds that it will pass and that the governor will sign the bill if it does?

Some things to consider are whether your activity will impact human health, the well-being of the surrounding community, or the environment. It's often something that businesses need to worry about more than the average citizen.

It sounds like they've run out of building space and are looking for ways around the issue. It's good that the city government is looking for solutions while keeping patrons in mind as well. I can't say that I'd want to eat outside during the frigid temps of a New York winter, but options are...

I believe that whoever sponsors the dependent will need to submit proof of income, which shows that the sponsor can support the dependent financially. Violating the permit rules, or breaking other laws, could lead to losing their permit status.

You don't need a business permit to tutor in my area. You also don't need an education permit or anything of that nature. You might want to set your business up as an LLC, if you're really serious about making a go of it, though. Of course, you'll also need to stay on top of your taxes.
