> What counts as an 'unusual' design? I would imagine as a matter of procedure then 'all' submissions for permit need to be stamped by a PE or none at all? Seems 'unusual' depends on the eye of the beholder.
In general most stick-built structures are not inherently unusual. The load bearing is well known and documented and they aren't especially difficult to draw up. These would be the easiest to get by counties.
> I ideally want a fully functioning tiny house with all the normal amenities of a normal house, just tiny. I'd like a proper sewage handling system in place, either city sewage or a septic. I'm not really a fan of the composting toilets as I don't want to have to literally deal with the shyt myself lol. I think in my area septic and sewage work needs to be done by a licensed person.
Don't think, go look. A tie in to city sewer service is one of the few places they can force you to have it done by a licenses contractor. I'd be very surprised if they could force you to have a septic system installed by a licensed contractor.
> I took a glance at the building code document and its a 500 page legal mumbo jumbo document. I'd read it eventually but it doesn't look like a lot of fun.
Get the Cliff Notes versions, something like Contractors Guide to the Building Code and make sure it's your specific IBC code you need to comply with.
> Interesting thing about fresh water. Have tiny house builders, instead of considering a drilled well or rain collection unit, considered a large water tank instead? You can hire companies that deliver fresh water to you say every few months or whenever you run out. There are such water delivery companies around, as various services actually require fresh water delivery. So a tiny house owner can probably have a large container on their property for fresh water and simply order in new water from time to time. Not cost effective but at least no well drilling.
In Colorado and desert states you are bound to run in to many, many regulations about this. In fact most counties I looked at had some maximum size of above ground storage tank, and a maximum size of below ground. It is possible, though, and if you are careful with water use and buy energy-star dishwashers (look for lowest gallons per cycle) you can do it.
