the county is "complaint driven"
To be clear: I have been told this -- in person, no less -- by various County officials; they decry the "lack of funding" and "shortage of staff" despite the fact that the budget increases every year with most of that money dedicated to salaries and benefits for County employees.
Meanwhile, they're able to tax my unpermitted house based on aerial photos and an expensive software package -- meaning they can be proactive when it suits them, if there's money to be made for the County. They certainly won't be wasting their precious time generating revenue for the State.
Broken by design, this place is.
