Thinking about building a wooden front porch, 15' wide X 8' deep. I am pretty handy and have done some research. Seems pretty straight forward except for the footers, all reference material says to follow local code for requirements. I'm not sure how to wade thru the internet for that info. Called the county and they were no help, so I'm not sure if I want to sign up to get in their radar.
My question is: Should I get a building permit (which subjects me to numerous inspections) or just build it and see what happens if they catch me. Or get the permit and never call for inspections.
The construction will be easily seen from a low volume road in Stokes County.
