re: Any of you D.I.Yers ever build without a permit?

I have experience on both sides. If you are in a rural or suburban parish or community go for it. If you are in a City or Parish with a full regulatory department and staff (EBR, NOLA, Jeff Parish, etc.) you are taking a risk. If you do it, like others have said keep it low key and quiet.
If you do build without a permit, please MAKE SURE you are not violating any building codes, and especially any of the zoning regulations. Most basic building code issues can be fixed after the fact. If you violate the zoning code (height, setbacks, lot coverage)and you can't get an after-the-fact variance they can you make you tear it down.
Additionally, your current neighbors are ok, but what if they sell and in 6 months an a-hole moves in and for some reason reports you?
