I went down to the FSDO office because they would issue the permit at no
caharge- and they did. The local DAR wanted $250.00

I had to get a mechanic to inspect my Seneca prior to the issuance of a

to be complied with. PLUS, when I took the logbooks over to the FSDO
office,

Why'd you do that?

they noticed that AD on my Seneca 1's turbochargers was never signed off,
and I had to get the mechanic to attest that my plane didn't have
turbochargers (as if I didn't know ) The mechanic laughed and insisted
that the AD applied to the turbochargers and not the airframe. (Several
FAA
approved shops still insisted that the AD didn't apply ,but nonetheless,
I
got the sign-off)

My last 5 annuals were late. I called the FSDO, they sent me the
papers, (I don't have a fax machine), My mechanic said, "looks OK,
signed it, and I flew it to the other airport for the annual. There
was no inspection of logs, or anything else by the FSDO. By the time
they received the paperwork the annual was already complete.
