Now list the property tax bill increase!

Mine is Burleigh is not much at all when not attached to the house, is classified as outbuilding. I will say when I built it and what it is worth now if I sold I did damn good worth 3x price, but not selling.

My outbuilding that cost me 24k for a 28x40. Property value according to the county went up over 90k. Greedy,greedy,greedy!

If you have plumbing going in for a floor drain I would rough in a toilet at a minimum.

At least in Burleigh county, it requires a separate drain field

Building yourself or contracted? Whos doing it and how much? Update with pics if you get time during the process. I need a shop also, people say they are easy to throw up but seems like a big project to tackle alone.

Keeping debris piles over drains to hide them during inspection is the oldest trick in the book

If you decide to go with sprayfoam insulation drop me a message. We ordered our spray rig last week so it should be here mid April and ready to spray whenever we get acceptable temperatures. I'd love to give you a quote!

It’s not the drain or hiding the plumbing that’s the issue
It’s the drain field and space for a tank etc

Without plumbing there is no need for a drain field

I built a 40x60 shop a couple of years ago. We added a bathroom. But I just did a 1,000-gallon holding tank that I will have pumped out when I pump my regular septic tank. We had the same issue as you... that we didn't have enough room for a separate drain field for the shop, so this was the easy answer. If you aren't washing vehicles in your shop, it will take a couple of years to fill it up.

Also, my shop is a 40x60 with 16ft sidewalls with a 16 ft x 40 ft loft. We did 4 ft frost walls/footings. A 40x26 ft concrete apron. Completely finished inside, it cost right around $225,000 in 2023-24.
