[StBernard] Ref; Rebuild Definition

[Westley Annis]

Hey Jill,
 
Sorry about the confusion.  You are right that if all you were doing is
sheetrocking, you do not need a permit to do that.  Most people are doing
more that just sheetrock and the permits for electrical, plumbing, a/c and
structural work provide a documentation of the rebuilding process.  There is
a difference between requiring a permit and documenting the rebuilding-
Requesting a permit (which is free) to document the rebuild is a good way to
show what you have been doing.  If you are using a laborer, then get a
written invoice or contract and that should suffice as well.
 
Hope this helps clear it up.
 
Good luck and God Bless,
Craig

Craig,
I'm confused with your reponse that the "rebuild definition" is predecated
on the date of the permit.  What permit?  I was told by Hunnicutt's office
when asked about applying for a permit that I didn't need one for simple
gutting and re-sheetrocking.  When I first heard several months ago that if
you were not in the rebuilding stage when the flood elevations were released
you would not be grandfathered in I went to the complex and asked  what I
needed to get a permit.
Pleae advise, I'm very confused at this point.
