The cost for a week during moose hunting is $200 for a member, and $350 for a non member, all inclusive (food, drink, beer, liquor, gas for all equipment, propane, etc.). Money generated is used for camp up keep, equipment maintenance (4 boats, several outboards, a couple generators, chainsaw, gas water pump), and taxes. Stipulation for members is to belong to the OFAH, which makes us an OFAH member club, allowing us to take advantage of their first party club insurance and cheaper membership rates.
Brush up on the Ontario Building Code when it comes to building Cabins. Most townships has a similair code or regulations.

Think I broke a lot of rules.
- Additions to existing buildings or structures.
- New or replacement decks.
- Wood burning appliances, including new or replacement of existing components.
- Replacement of windows or doors if the rough opening size is enlarged.
- Relocation or addition of plumbing fixtures.
- Replacement of interior water supply or drain pipes.
- New buildings or structures greater than 10 square metres (108 ft²) in total floor area, measured by the outside dimensions, or any size if they include services. This includes sheds, sleeping cabins or other accessory buildings or structures, including sheds and shed packages purchased from a store.

The building was 5km by atv back into the bush, they actually had to have the inspector (who was a friend of theirs) hope on the side by side and take him in. On the trip in he said "why get a permit out here, you should have just built the cabin" only to have someone call in a complaint about a cabin being built on private property not 1 week later.
It all depends on who the neighbours are.
A lot of the issues regarding building permits depend on whether you are in an organized or unorganized township. An unorganized area gives you a lot of freedom to do as you like.
No doubt,the complainant is the guy who couldn't make the deal. It's sour grapes or small town petty politics. This would be a good reason to use portable,temporary camps. People can b**ch all they want,but,they can't do anything about it.Quote:
