Respectfully, you don't know what you are talking about. In most municipalities, a permit is required for both building and major remodeling, and the cost of a permit for either is generally under $100.

Hahahahaha -- You don't know what you're talking about.
You obviously don't live in California where enormous sums are needed to pay for all the illegal aliens, crack babies, aids infested dope addicts, sickos, wackos, and perverts. I have quite a bit of property in the People's Republic of Santa Cruz and I have been a land developer. It costs you $75,000 in permits and fees alone before you can stick a shovel in the ground. Land cost not included. "Remodeling" requires a permit sure but it's much cheaper. You live in a different world. Consider yourself lucky.
