My building authority wanted it installed to the manufacturers spec's, but they didn't really inspect it. They just wanted me to pay for a building permit and inspect it so they could raise my taxes. The inspector knew jack s*!t about wood burning appliances. They just wanted the $$$$$.

Don't know for sure yet, but it I believe it "increased the value of our home" so I'm expecting an increase. I can say with complete certainty that the safety of the install was never a factor with the inspector cause he had no clue what he was looking at. I showed him receipts, pics of the install, and the finished product and he was satisfied. I didn't have my tile hearth extension completed, but the tile was laid and that was enough to please him. In the end, the permit was a complete waste and I should have never bothered. Every installer I talked to looked at me like I had a D*$! growing out of my forehead when I asked them about pulling a permit. Now I know why.Chrism said:Your taxes go up cause of a wood stove are you kiddin me
Just make sure your insurance company is aware of the install. I've heard some insurance companies want to inspect the install. Mine didn't.Chrism said:Yeah I pay the town enough taxes I'm gonna install it the correct way and no need for them to know !!
