Anyone ever had problems with building permits for a shop?

I’ve had a long and fun month dealing with the parish engineer on a set of general drawings for a tubular steel building that’s rated for 140mph wind speeds but has Risk category 1 on the drawings.
Essentially the firm who did the drawings is saying yeah, it’s good for 140+ but for us to put risk category 2 on the building you need site specifics which is $2500. No need to add anything to the building though. Sounds like a crock to me.
Anyone else had to deal with this before?

the structural engineer at the building manufacturer has to stamp the drawings. His errors and omissions policy requires him to make the necessary calculations for your building to be certified as suitable for wind risk 2. Site specifications are a part of that. If he tells you it will cost more then it will cost more. It’s not a “crock” LOL

Thankfully in the 'Sip, we don't do that permit stuff.

Does it cost more for site specific engineering: yes
Is it shady that your metal building supplier didn’t include that price up front if you told him all the details about your location: also yes
No one likes to get hit with a $2500 change order for paperwork.

You live in the city limits or next to a bunch of neighbors? Seems like you could build a building that isn’t huge without a permit if you aren’t endangering other people. I’m sure property tax will go up once the assessor gets that permit paperwork in his hands. I generally despise the permitting process for non-residential buildings that have zero chance of impacting other people.

That is correct.
