Depending on the location of your sewer line, it might be easier and cheaper to run the sink drain into the line that discharges into the yard

I have to ask. Does anyone find it sad that we have to ask to build on our own property? I just don’t understand how we got here. It’s not a hotel. It’s a damn outdoor kitchen.

I was able to name myself as the general. I had to have my electrician sign the permit and provide a letter (invoice) he did the work. You need to find out what has to be inspected. In my case, everything includeint the framing. Once you pay the permit, if the inspector has to come out for a re inspection of something that failed, you will be charged.

Nobody pulls permits these days

No. People would be building all sorts of crazy crap that is not structurally sound. Do you really want your neighbor's brother-in-law's friend building him a 100' tall tower 10' from your house?
To the OP, if you are wanting to build a toilet and shower the city will probably consider it a habitable space which brings on all sorts of other ordinances. You really have to go talk to your city's Building Inspections and see what you can and can't do as all cities have different rules.

I know when they started building on the northshore there all sorts of shady shite going on. So much that the legitimate contractors set everything up.

We just went from an outdoor kitchen to a 100' tower? Great example. What would someone do with a 100' tower on a residential property anyway?

Get your drawings done, and into them ASAP. Plan review is a backed up nightmare. I paid the fee to have the review expedited, and it still took them 4 weeks.
I did my own drawings. Once they looked at my plans, I had the approval in a day or two. I did the framing, hardiboard, sheetrock, and paint myself. I hired subs to do the foundation, roofing, soffits and facia, plumbing, AC, and electric.
I had to have city inspections on the foundation, plumbing, AC, electric, and framing. They were very slow on each one. At one point I couldn't do anything for three weeks while I waited on the city to inspect AC.

You may have to use the power of inference to comprehend my statement.

There is a rich guy near me, in the middle of a ritzy neighborhood who built a small tower on top of his house to use as a telescope room. Its about 50' tall but I'm sure he permitted though.
