    If you can't find building permit info online, then I'd think you need to start telephoning. I would start by telephoning the planning department. They should be able to direct you to who...

    So I called this morning. As for Ashe County, NC, Minimum Sq Ft. is around 256' or close to that number. Building permit would be about $380 for minimum Sq Footage. (cost increased per Sq Ft but nowhere close to $20k-30k) Septic is required for all houses, can't ...

    ... build it for you, you probably won't need a plan. Just show the picture to your builder and say "build me something like this." Builders who concentrate on sheds, garages and other outbuildings etc. have plenty of experience working without plans. Now if you are planning on building it yourself and you don't have much experience, or if you plan on hi...

But it led to discussion and I believe North Frontenac council is just now about to consider a proposal to allow yurts (with a floor) as accessory buildings subject to obtaining a permit only for the *deck* they stand on but otherwise OK. I think still under discussion, but i) might be an example for yo...

    ... all gas ranges had air exhaust vent hoods and they were used. It’s worse in winter and worse with energy efficient designs that limit air infiltration. That’s not a reason to return to building houses like we did a hundred years ago. It is food for thought. As for fuel-burning appliances that have oxygen depletion sensors, those do have some merit. However, one can still ...

Another thing what govt could have done is create a choice - full scale building permit and a cabin permit at a reduced rate. Problem be solved. Everything would be accountable, yet more common c...

Example, we have 100 acres in North Kawartha and the bylaw says with that size property we can build a "hunt camp" which can be essentially any size BUT we do need building permits and septic ( I haven't looked to see if they are OK with a composting toilet) And to be honest, it is better to go legal than potentially get fined by t...

That is why you will not find in any building code book, any reference as to how piers should be installed, which is why I recommended a poured perimeter footing or a PWF, also full perimeter. ...

    What your looking for is a "Holding Tank" which some regions / areas permit their use and others don't. Check your local building dept and see what their position is on them and their usage. The only drawback is you have to know the limits and that you will need to get it emptied at least onc...

I say this because, reading through this old thread, many people provide generalized advice on building in Quebec but based on experience in one specific area only. If I had read this before trying to build, I would have given up. I'm from Ontario, with a small Quebec 16x16 lake...
