If you are in Sumter county, make sure you check the NEW building codes. We just got caught in this mess, the code change took effect June 30th, our plans went in July 1-2, and were rejected! Caused a 2 week or so delay. My experience so far is go to ARC and talk to them, or have them review a sketch to at least see if there are major problems. For example, our house has a road to the back with a large backyard THAT WE CANNOT BUILD ANYTHING ON A LARGE PORTION OF IT. Also, the building department has been very helpful in answering questions before we approached any builders.
Hope this helps, and good luck with your project.
