We are looking to add onto our screen porch and add an open deck at our house at Blue Mtn Beach. We were looking into the permitting requirements. It seems overdone for just adding a deck and adding on to a screen porch (with no changes to roof). Sounds like we need an structural engineer drawin, boundary and foundation surveys, elevation certificates. Our job if relatively small and we don't understand why all the engineering is required. Our house is on the other side of 30a (about 1/2 mile from beach as crow flies).

Anyone else run into this? Any advise? Sounds like it could add 1,000 to 3,000 to a small job.
