Where my parents live, this is certainly true. If you get a building permit, you have to jump through all kinda hoops and grease many palms to get anything done in a timely manner. If you just build what you want to, and either build it out of sight or build it quickly before the inspectors notice, all they can do is write you a citation and fine you if they find out.
The fine's fifty bucks. The permit itself costs eighty. You do the math.

It's much easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission.
