This is actually kind of a grey area. Even if you put a shed on cinderblocks, it can be considered a permanent structure if it has electricity and water run to it. Depends on the mood of the assessor or inspector who looks at it.

If you put a shed on a poured foundation, then it does need to be permited, and will be added to the assessor's records.

Guys


While I agree that David is undoubtedly Damon and that some of Dan's statements have been less than accurate to the point of being misleading, I have to say that you guys have pretty much driven the "Building = Shed = Facility" discussion into the ground. My first "facility" was a 10 X 10 enclosed screen porch. My next one was a 14 X 27 1 car garage. That one is now my growout / baby room and nursery. Right off the top of my head, I can name 6 very well known name breeders who make a nice living off of their animals whose "facilities" would not meet with the definition of the word a few of you have lent to it. A couple of them have international reputations. I am talking about insulated sheds, walled off sections of barns, garages with window shakers, and converted 2nd or third bedrooms.

The definition of "facility" is extremely subjective. Just because someone thinks of a "facility" as a large commercial building does not mean that everyone does. I currently have my breeders in a detached two car garage that measures 45 X 48. When someone comes over who operates on a much smaller level, they are impressed as hell. Conversely, I doubt Mark Bell or Gourmet Rodent would feel the same.

With so many other glaring points to aim at in this thread, I think this one counts as a complete non issue and is somewhat condescending to those who do not operate out of 20,000 sq ft warehouses.

Just my opinion though

I sent the photo and news artical to Oackdale and there is not question about it David is Damon according to a person living in Oakdale.

These people do not like what they have read in the artical but what they plan to do (if anything other then make the police awhere of it) I do not know. But I do know that a convicted felon MUST REPORT TO THE LOCAL POLICE DEPT WHEN MOVING TO A NEW TOWN. Since Damon is convicted of a capital offence he should also have a probation officer. So maybe yet another visit to the grey bar hotel is in his future.

How can one be given/assigned a probation officer for a conviction when one has failed to appear in court to be convicted and chose instead to make a run for it and left the state?

Well, unless it is some local ordinance, this simply is not true. It is totally dependent upon the offense. Sex offenders, for example, are required to register their address when ever and where ever they locate, but not so with other felonious crimes, guilty and served time or not.
If he was actually sentenced, and did time, he would have had a Parole officer when released, but that only lasts as long as they (the board of Parole) deem necessary. Than he's a free man again, with a record of course.

But, I'll almost guarantee state ID to be a requirement almost everywhere once you hit 18. And if not able to produce one, (this happened to me once) they haul you down to run your finger prints through NCIC. Of course, would still depend on local laws on identification.


Just thought I'd throw that in there.

On a capital offence such as murder and manslauter on parole or not you must regester with any police station at any new town you move to. As far as the Az. charges go you are currect, since he ran like a little girl he will have a warrent but it will only be served/inforced if he goes back to Az. Because the charges are a misdermener and since he served his time and is not on parole or probation he did not violate anything.

While there are some states that require it, the majority do not unless is a sex crime.

Also, given that manslaughter doesn't have the death penalty as a punishment, it isn't a captial crime.
