If not...well, this is exactly why you need that extra money from the loan.

The permit fees are based on the cost projection of the home. Yes, normally the contractor would get the permits, but if we did it that way, then the permits cost more and the house would be way more. Contractor came by. He said that hubby read paper wrong. Our contractor and his other contractor will be filling out the papers and then we will get the permit. Seems, hubby read the line for the total price and he should only have gone with the build price and not the A/C, electrical, plumbing and appliances. We have to have separate permits for electrical, plumbing and A/C. (I think there was another, but I can't remember). This building permit may only cost us about $1500.
