Strategies: (1) Build in unincorporated county areas with minimal codes. (2) Use appendix codes ICC has approved earthbag and straw bale. (3) Hire an engineer to stamp plans. (4) Build small (<200 sq ft in many areas = no permit needed). (5) Build the "normal" parts (foundation, roof, electric, plumbing) to code inspectors care most about safety systems.
