Researching building an off-grid cabin back home. I would imagine with all the expansion out near Weddington that the code situation is ridiculous.
How likely am I to run into problems with code nazis if I wanted to build a cabin (either log or stick built, haven't decided)? I'd like to do it as simply, cheaply, and with the least interference as possible. I wouldn't mind running electricity and adding a septic system, but not if the costs/fees/permits/inspections are going to be ridiculous. Thanks in advance. |

If you plan on hooking your cabin up to the power grid in NC you will have to get a permit and inspections. Also do you need a well drilled you now have to ask for permission to drill a well and the health inspectors will tell you where you can and can't drill. |

There's a well on the property already, although it's maybe 200 yards or so away from where I'd like to put the cabin. I'm still trying to figure out all the details... |
| Weddington area................forget about a cabin. Locals (transplants) will make sure that you can't do anything that you would like to do with your own property.. Weddington/Wesley Chapel is ridiculous crazy bout people being in your business. And Union county has a code for everything. |

It will be in another part of the county. I just know how badly that side of the county has exploded in the 15 years since I left, and didn't know if the development had brought with it the code nazi mindset. |
