Why does nobody talk about the city permit process for a basement suite?
Everyone says just do it, but getting the permit for my Edmonton basement took 14 months. Had to change the window sizes three times. Inspector wanted a different fire separation plan than the plans showed. Cost me an extra $8k in delays. Has anyone else had the city move the goalposts like this?

City hall loves changing the rules after you already paid to play the game.

What specific rule change did they hit you with, @allen.william? Was it a new permit fee, or did they move the goalposts on zoning after you started building?
