Most fun at a rave I've ever had was at this castle. The guy built it free climbing the whole time and was in conflict with the government over how he got the rocks, which he mostly pulled from riverbeds on public land.

Another out there spot is in Lucas, Kansas. That guy was also fiercely anti-government.

Surely he would also be in conflict about building codes? How was this not stopped? Or is it all actually permitted?

To be clear, I like that this castle exists (although I also like that building and planning codes exist, so I guess I’m conflicted…), I’m just very surprised!

Building codes are extremely local, and not really federally regulated much. They’re consistent most places because jurisdictions will just copy paste them.
In rural areas they often don't really evist because nobody can stop you from ignoring them. Just pay your taxes.
