Amnesty ain’t Amnesty.
We have applied utilizing Kapohocats Company (Thank God) I don’t think you could do it on your own. Even with all her connections and contacts the Building Department has had us jumping through HOOPS. We bought our house with an unpermitted bedroom and converted ½ bath to a full.
So as the good residents we want to get it permitted. (And put it on the tax roll) It ain’t cheep and it ain’t easy.
The DOH has signed off and it’s back in the Building Department for final review.
The construction is to code but it’s been hell. The house was built in 73 so there are no plans. We had to have the house drawn up, stamped by and architect and a letter from him stating that he will be responsible for the existing structure. You need to get a plumber and electrician to pull their permits and the location and size of your cess pool.
Try to get those trades to cooperate.
The only thing the Amnesty program provides is a discount on the price of the permit!
Anyone interested in this process should contact Kapohocat, she knows the ropes.
I’ll let you know how we make out on our final.
