Does processing building permits all day sound boring to you?
You might think that process seems a little dull, but it actually can be loads of fun.
Because of the massive quantity of permits we bring in each month, we see a lot of wacky things come through. Some are as commonplace as replacing an outdoor deck – but others are wild in comparison.
Curious yet? Good.
We thought we’d play a little game to showcase a couple of our favorite permits from over the years. Two Truths & A Lie: Permit Edition has more intrigue than you’d suspect.
Two of these three permits are REAL and one is FAKE. It’s your job to guess the fake. To help make your decision, we’ve included some permit details below.
