Unfortunately, no. The initial hurdles include zoning, EPA wetlands
determination and CC&R's. Once you clear them, THEN you get to apply for a
building permit. It's very rare these days that you don't need one unless
you live in a sparsely populated area. Getting the permit is another can of
worms. It sure ain't like the old days - hi.
