My contractor applied for the permit and went through all the meetings and said he got the permit and started to dig. We started having problems with him and went to the police jury to get a copy of the permit and application. The lady said i was approved for the permit but no one ever paid for one then she asked if they had started to dig and i said there almost finished. I got a dirty look
and she went to get the man in charge i told him that the contractor said he paid and picked up the permit. He said that he would take care of it and that the fine for digging without a permit is 20000. I later found out that my contractor got a good chewing from the man in charge and that it will be a long time before he gets any more permits. He got a permit to dig the guys pond behind me but he had to put it in his sons name i told the guy behind me not to use him and now he is paying the price. OH WELL I TRIED TO TELL HIM>

You can pay more but you cant buy better.
