Building a cabin without a permit

I've been down this road before and can tell you what to expect based on my experience.

Bottom line is that i did get "caught" and had to remedy the situation. Which really meant that i paid twice the price of the original permit as a fine, which came out to a total of $150. I also had to request the permit as an "uninhabitable" storage shed.

In hindsight, i'd probably have got the permit ahead of time and said very little about it's intended purpose but either way, i'm violating whenever i use it for my weekend getaways. Technically, they could fine me for sleeping on my property but after going round and round with the local zoning person, we seem to have come to an understanding. She knows i use the shed as a cabin when i'm visiting but she doesn't check it anymore.

Ive always wanted to put up a little cabin at my place in Chippewa county and was wondering if anyone had any input on the permit issue.Im back in quite a way and no neighbors.I don't see how anyone could find it other than trespassing or Google earth.Nothing big,just 16x24.No electric ect,just a weekend hunt camp.Im convinced permits are just a money grab by the local ordinance Nazi,s.Im sure ill be chastised by a few for even thinking about breaking the law but am interested in realistic...
