I live in Idaho County, Idaho, the third biggest county in the USA with the smallest population.
Where I live there are no building codes except sewage and electrical. No permits required to build a shed on your property.
However the State every year sends highly paid facilitators to convince the people they need codes dictated by who ever in charge in order to get government grants for a new fire truck and many more benefits going to local government. It's like fishing, and who will take the bait. So far no-one has taken the bait yet in this county, but man they do push it!
So far the people of Idaho County have rejected many things government is pushing. A big one is the Forest Service closing very old roads, paths, or trails. No that didn't go over very well with the public at all. Forest Service wrote people tickets for being in the forest more than 2 weeks along with a whole lot of other stuff.
Idaho County Commissioners sued the Forest Service and the Idaho Supreme Court ruled that the Forest Service has no, and I mean no power of police anywhere within the the USA!
So now you won't see a Forest Ranger armed with a patrol car in this County. Thank GOD! Any tickets that are rare can be signed off by the Sheriff's office.
A ticket is simply a contract to pay or appear nothing more and one needs not sign. It's volintary and only stupid people go for it. Don't sign it they got nothing.
As far as I know this County is the only County to make that so in the US of A, and Im glad to be here. Anywhere eles is far worse as far as America goes.
At least somewhere people are not stupid enough to bite the poison cookie. Glad to hear it!
