Even with Cat’s assistance it was nearly impossible to get an amnesty permit. The County continued to ask for additional info and rewrites of the letter and they kept stalling. So we opted for the asbuilt permit route and they processed it right away. I think it cost an additional $400 in penalties and poof we got the permits. (All three)
One requirement is that the architect signs the plans that he/she is responsible for the structure and the foundation. After that the inspection is a breeze.
You will need a set of plans for the entire house including the fireplace and stamped by an architect.
I strongly suggest contracting with Cat for this process if you go it alone it may be a bit hard.
I think to permit a converted lani to a bedroom and a half bath to a full, drafts person, architect, construction manager, electrican, plumber and the permits was around $2,200.00. Not a bad price to add 296 SF to your existing house.

If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it cost when it’s free...now here come the taxes.....
