Is there any way to send me the name of the contractor you used without breaking the rules here at Talk of the Villages? I will try to send you a private message through a Talk of the Villages app, but I am not at all sure how that works. There are so many smart-aleck people trolling this site, trying to show how superior they are to mere mortals, that I hesitate to put my email address on here. Perhaps another user can tell me how to communicate with you privately.
Water heaters and septic tank systems are based on the number of bedrooms. Not bathrooms or people living there at the time.
The permit is for your protection that ALL safety devices and code practices are followed.
That being said you as a home owner can
Pull a permit If you live there and it’s your primary residence.
That’s according to the two states that I have had experience with.
That being said TV would require a permit for farting so they could make money on it. Lol
