As far as the original permit goes, I did not state anything as a fact. However, I do know that if I get a permit to build a fence and choose to leave an opening or a gate, that in most jurisdictions, I do not need a new permit to close that gap. On two occasions I have obtained a permit to build a deck, then at some point decided to virtually rebuild that deck, I did not need a new permit as long as the original footings and posts were maintained. It is possible that that methodology may apply in this instance. However, that is pure speculation which has no value other than to fill space on the forum, just like almost all of the other posts herein.

So, since I have committed the sin of rabid speculation, I am now going to put myself in "time out".

i my town if i have a permit for a fence - the entire fence goes up - no openings; and if i hafta reconstruct an existing deck - i hafta get a new permit...and pay for it, too. enjoy the time out!
