In many areas of the country, part the government building permit process includes searches to determine if the applicant:

1. Ever violated the permit process previously.

2. Checks to see if all property taxes have been paid.

3. Checks to see if the applicant has any outstanding or unpaid traffic tickets?

4. Checks to determine if your vehicles have current registration.

4. Some jurisdictions also check to see if your pets are licensed as part of the permit process.

1) Hurricane Andrew tossed poured concrete lintels into neighboring homes. Wood fences were sent miles. Backyard sheds disintegrated—metal roofs were peeled off and sent into neighbors' roofs.

2) A Marine should be able to hoist his own removeable flagpole into a hole in the lawn. Surely a permit won't be required for a hole in the ground!
