So, if understand thus far,
A)I could pull a permit for a two bedroom "cottage"...have a septic system put in. And that is where THEY (the Dept of Health) end their role.
B) I could then have SMECO run a meter to my parcel...and poof: they are done.
C) I could have a well company pull a permit, install, and off they go 5000.00 later (after hooking it up to the power)
...and I can roll in a Park Model at my leisure. (again...no HOA community).
OR...when I try to attach these utilities ...will contractors/inspectors slam on the brakes?
Yes. You can do that. It is called a 'strategic building permit'. You pull a permit just so you can build things like a driveway, water, electrical but you never build the actual home. You still need to submit:
- an engineer stamped site plan with silt management plan (and forest conservation if applicable)
- a building permit
- get the lot perc'd (if it hasn't been already)
You then start 'building' whatever 2 bedroom cabin you got approved but stop gettting further inspections after you have the elements you wanted. This is often done by people who want to put a driveway into a property but dont want to pay the silly amount of fees for a 'development permit' (which is what you need to put a driveway into a non-ag property without obtaining a building permit).
The wrinkle could be that the plumbing inspector won't sign off on using your septic until you actually close in the house. Without getting plumbing permit signed off, code enforcement could come out and keep you from using the septic.
The biggest problem I see with going that route is that the cost for your site development (engineered site plan, BAT septic, well) will be high compared to the cost of your trailer. 30 years ago, you got your cousin Billibob with his backhoe to sink a septic tank for you and you rolled in your trailer and hooked it up to power. That's one of the reasons why some areas in SoMD look as ragged and neglected as they do.
