I looked at a job today in a township I haven't worked in before. I would be the electrical sub for two bath renovations involving installing one fan/light and moving a GFI in one bath, and installing a GFI circuit, replacing fan/light, and installing 8-10 sq. ft. of floor heat in a second bath, so not a big job at all. With one-way travel time to get to the jobsite, I'm looking at 5 hours of time involved with filling out permit applications (including a whole house load calc.), getting notarized exemptions for workman's comp. etc. not to mention half a tank of gas .
Do those of you who work in areas with super stringent permitting charge for this time? Most of my permits take under an hour to prepare and file for, so this is extreme, especially considering how small the job is. It basically ate up an entire day of my time.
