This is the same thing. Imagine calling the local government to ask if there's a problem with letting my garden grow.

Yes. I just did imagine it for you. Are you a lawyer? Do you spend time making yourself aware of the laws, bylaws and codes in effect in your area? If it makes you feel less burdened to check first, then at the very least, don't be one of the people who inevitably complains when they find out what they've done draws unwanted attention to yourself.

It's government. You pay for it. Why you wouldn't expect it to be useful to you is beyond me.
