This may be in the archives, but thought I'd share what I learned from permit office. All one has to do is bring property up to current 2005 code in all depts. and then pay a fine of $22 per 100sqft for main use and lower fee for "access area footage" ie. garage, lanais.
But the main problem appears to me is finding licensed electricians or plumbers avail.
FYI I also am seeing a pattern of some "home contractors" buidling a house and then selling it before it is "finalled" . the New owner becomes the home contractor, finishes the process and then they can't sell or rent themselves for one year. Don't know if this is getting "policed" as there seems to be a contractor shortage.
