anyone know anything about hunt camp building permits and septic tanks?

You can have all the conditions you want that has nothing at all to do with the township. You can make conditions to be sure you don't end up with a money pit right off the start. You want to be able to go and enjoy the fruits of your labour, not fixing somebody else's pile of problems that take time and money to fix or work right.

yeah very true

thats why i low balled him once he comes with a counter ill throw some conditions in there if he comes back with a offer that is.

[trimmer21]

well the listing say as is where is .

i basically offered him a little more than half of what hes asking for cuz if i go through the city im gunna have to spend the other half on all the legal crap building permits septic permit etc.

so im sure hes going to counter if he even gives the offer the time of day.

at that point ill start talking conditions if he wants more money for it. im not set in stone abut this property at this point for the amount he wants for it knowing all the city crap im going to have to deal with when it comes to that point but if i can get it for a decent price and then spend the remaining budget money on the city stuff im happy with that.

as fox said even if i need to tear down the cabin and start over ill be happy with it

for the right price.

I think you're taking the right route by starting out with a lower offer (as long as it's not insulting) and letting the process work. You need to start somewhere. The worst that can happen is a refusal to accept or a full value sign-back. Either way,you'll know what your dealing with. Once you have a dialog going,then,you can ask hard questions.

yeah thats the plan. i wont even bother with it if he starts to push his listing price. not worth it at that point. it would be nice to have it . but at the same time i kinda want something closer anyways.

I doubt they even have the septic records anymore. I wouldn't worry about it nor would I bother looking for them.

yeah see the only problem is when i talked to the listing agent he said the owner is having problems with the city because of the permits

thats why i wont give him what hes asking for because if the city does decide to come after i buy it then at least i wont be out a bunch of money for buying the place then have to put more down to get the permits to build or demolish septic etc.

They are doing septic inspections now. Muskoka started already and I got a notice this year for my home. Every 5 years. Better if the township doesn’t even know you have a building.

Septic records go back a long way, our place was brought into another municipality through amalgamation, septic record is on file for 1995, well record for the same.

also seen an article saying that the cities are using google maps aerial view to crack down on illegal built structures, mainly hunting camps.

Bringing up an old thread here. Just wondering if the op purchased the property?
I myself have recently purchased a hunting property and considering options for building a camp etc.

What fox said...every septic and well must be registered if it was put in by a licensed contractor..if its not registered then he did it himself and was never inspected by the health department thus making it non conforming. The township will deem it as such and you will be liable as the owner(should you purchase the property). Hey, it might be fine but cutting through the red tape better make the property worth your while.
