We see it on Hidden Meadows roofs every week. Full replacements in Hidden Meadows generally require a permit through the county or city building department covering Hidden Meadows, with an inspection once the work is finished. It is the same story on most Hidden Meadows streets. As a rule, the project in Hidden Meadows is inspected as well as permitted — the county or city building department covering Hidden Meadows signs off the finished assembly, not just the application.
