Dan, 

Exactly the way it worked for me in Belgium.
I moved from a hired location because of to much troubles with HOA's
I builded my own house, drawed the tower on the bleu prints, and the
building permit service signed and puted there stamp.( anno 1984 )
Some NIYBY  neighboors tried several times the county path for anulation.
They never received an answer.
In the mean time the tower is up since 1986 but I am stille affraid of an
oficial intervention anyway.
Just wonder how a judge might react on such a situation!

Happy new Year Dan have funn with amateur radio and NIYBY's

Go straight to the senior engineer of the building department with the
approved plans in-hand. The inspectors should be inspecting according to the
approved plans and the printed building codes. I went through this same sort
of nonsense when I was having my house built here in San Diego County. While
many ex-construction worker building inspectors will tell you that the
approved plans and building codes are "subject to individual inspector
interpretation", the bottom line was that the black & white approved
construction plans and the black & white building code provided the final
word.  I never lost to a building inspector who put his own spin on the
rules.  However, the inspector is definitely not the person you want to have
the discussion with.
