@belovedcabin: Nobody teaches you this part… It’s not just what you ask… it’s how you ask it. Same goal… completely different answers. 👉 Don’t say: “tiny house” “shed conversion” “off-grid” “composting toilet” etc. 🚩 Instant red flags 👉 Say this instead: • “What’s the minimum square footage?” • “What are the requirements for power, water, and septic?” • “What are the approved waste systems?” Now you’re speaking their language. And please… stop telling them your whole plan 😅 They don’t need to be like… “hmm… I don’t like where this is going…” Keep it cute. Keep it quiet. Say less. Ask better. Move smarter 😏 If you don’t even know what to ask yet… grab the zoning guide and don’t get shut down 😏
I used to work for a City and this is absolutely correct. And! If you don’t like the zoning/regulations—get involved! Attend the appropriate meetings & speak up there. Talk to the board! (It’s not worth getting mad at the employees, they’re not the ones making the rules 😅)

Leave the word “eco” out of any building name. I ONLY use the word “masonry building”

We just send in the first application for a meeting with the municipality 😳🫣 made sure to NOT mention tiny houses or alternative living😂 Instead we see our project as a “strategic contribution to the current development-plan” 😉🤞🏾

@dietingmominJP :
asking for requirements also expresses whatever you're planning, you want to do it legally/within their guidelines. The county will be happy to work with you with this first impression.
