Health Permit Applications

We turned another page in the pre-construction process today - applying for our health permits in preparation for building. Five permits in all!!!

1) WAB - well abandonment (we need to move the existing well)
2) SAB - septic abandonment (we need to move the tank)
3) Well permit - to drill a new one
4) Septic renovation - to install a new tank
5) Demolition permit - need a health permit to tear down the house (kinda weird cuz if they saw it they'd probably have us arrested for allowing such a dump to remain standing this long...)

Still need to apply for another demo permit with the Dept of Building and Development but they advised me when I was at the counter not to apply until we are within 6 months of actually breaking ground, because that is the interval after which they can sometimes change zoning, so I'd have to reapply. Thus, since we probably won't break ground until March/April I'll have to go back for that one.

So there goes $470 - but who cares as long as it gets the ball rolling!
