I finished the basement suite a little while ago and now I'm on to the loft in our old fixer-upper. I haven't even considered getting a permit because I'm mostly just fixing things that were done wrong or worn out and all my work is interior where it isn't blatantly obvious. Once I get to adding exterior structures or need to hire someone I'll probably do the permit thing.
I would suggest talking to a contractor ASAP so they can squeeze you in come springtime. Contractors in Calgary are swamped, which is also why the city will never notice if you forget one or two extra bills. I know a few good contractor's if you're interested.
Don't worry about the tanks, Tony. Any competant builder will be able to incorporate them into the plan you want.
