If I buy a house in this economy I'm not asking anyone for permission to make it look how I want

Depending on where that house is, you may not have a choice. If you're part of the home owners association or live in a house old enough to be under the jurisdiction of the conservation authority then you either follow the rules or start putting money aside for all the fines you'll be getting.

It took my brother 3 years to get a garage built next to his house. Nothing huge, single car but two stories. He had the plans drawn up and it more than met the required specs (was on a flood plane so there were extra requirements). The conservation authority are just dicks and made the entire process take forever. 

Unfortunately its a way for people who got beat up in high school to thrive by bullying people with red tape. You can't even paint your house without running it by them first.
