No box for the situation

Riick:

Would the reports for this client include HC's concerning the permit status?

Would the income stream be subject to a similar HC?

Would the SOW go so far as to state the client guidelines, or would that issue be addressed in the specific section(s) of the report.

(just curious about HC's and SOW...)

I was under the impression from earlier discussions on non-permitted additions that no permit meant an illegal use. Now I am reading that there may be some discretion in the application of this rule. I guess discussion with the government agency involved was not enough research, and I should try and discover who built the place and ask them for a copy of a permit the county says does not exist.

In the past I have used some discretion, just explaining the situation. I have an e-mail into the client seeking their input. I will advise when I hear something. (Or more correctly, read something).

It does in municipalities which have zoning and building ordinances AND they require building permits and certificates of occupancy and mandatory Compliance with LOCAL LAW. Always check the Enforcement Provisions...... which typically state violations and penalties.....for failure to comply i.e. illegal actions.
