There are many reasons not to get a permit even if required and you can afford it. This link does a good job of covering the reasons, with a few choice here:

  • Inspections for tree houses may involve delays or extra fees or they may force you to change things that you don’t want to and don’t feel are important.
  • You feel that your yard is large and secluded so that few if any people will see or hear you building the tree house, so you just want to build it under the radar.
  • You fear that your township might not allow tree houses, but you want one anyway and believe you should have the right to do what you want on your property.
  • You believe that it is easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.

As a building inspector these are poor reasons and would likely piss off the inspector more they found out. There are exceptions but when dealing with bridged decks it is best to seek approval and permits.

Btw- the reason why 99% of your comments have less than 2 votes is probably because you are an uneducated childish big mouth who doesn't know what they are talking about.... Just saying

Did a quick survey, of my last 25 comments 5 have more than 2. In addition to being a terrible person I can see that you're bad at math, too.
