I know every jurisdiction deals with contractors and citizens that begin working without permits. Sometimes (most of the time) it is intentional and sometimes it is an honest mistake. None the less it is still illegal. I am curious how other jurisdictions deal with this. I am needing to establish some measures that will get the word out that it is not easier to get forgivin than it is to get permission.
Currently we have double permit fees, a lengthy citation process through Municipal Courts that is an option, or if the offense is blatent enough we can get the Fire Marshal or Police to issue a citation on the spot. In either case it seems like these measures are not enough and the illegal construction continues to proliferate. Can I just shoot them? that would get the word out! :twisted:
