My county also has a bureaucratic nightmare for a building permits department. I avoid interaction with them however I can. Sheds less than 120sqft do not require solar permits, so I am trying to cram 1.7kw of panels on to my garden shed. Also looking at getting another few kw mounted on a wheeled trailer which the building dpt does not have dominion over. They want $1000 for a permit which would increase my payback time by at least 3 years. I closely follow the relevant codes that improve my children's safety, but about half of the codes in my county are more about bureaucracy then safety.
