I spell out in my contracts that permits, bonds, licenses, inspection fees are NOT included.
I submitted an invoice to a GC for $175.00 to cover the village's licensing fee and the required bond.
The GC refuses to pay it saying, " I have never had a sub bill me for this. What if you do other jobs in the same village, I am paying for you to work in the village."
Now, I know I should have simply included the fee in my price. That would have simplified my situation.
I have had a few differences of opinion with this GC so I don't think he will be using me for any future work so I'm not worried about burning any bridges.
Opinions ?
