Although it can be very frustrating working with local municipalities the one thing you have to keep in mind is that getting mad and yelling at a building official will only make things worse!

You must deal with the city in a diplomatic and cautious way… Case in point, the remodel that we have been struggling to get through Salt Lake County has made us jump through a number of hoops that seem to be rather atypical, but in order to get the permit we complied. After doing all that was asked (and spanning about two weeks to do it in) the city has told us today that we didn’t need to do about half of what we did.

Resisting the urge to lash out at the official one must smile and walk away!!!!
