  • No building or other structure shall be erected, moved, added to, or structurally altered to a value of $300.00 or more without a building permit being issued by the director of community development and general services department. No building permit shall be issued until the applicant has complied with the provisions of this chapter and all requirements of the city development regulations.

    All applications for building permits shall be accompanied by plans in duplicate, drawn to scale, showing:

    1.

    The actual dimensions and location of the lot to be built upon.

    2.

    The size of the building to be erected.

    3.

    The location of the building on the lot.

    4.

    The location of any existing structures on the lot.

    5.

    The number of dwelling units the building is designed to accommodate.

    One copy of the layout or site plan shall be returned when approved by the director of community development and general services department, together with any permit to the applicant upon payment of any fee or fees as shall be determined by the mayor and city council.

    If no substantial construction progress has been made within six months of the date of the issuance of the building permit, or if the work authorized by the permit is suspended or abandoned for a period of six months, the permit becomes void. Building permits shall not be transferable.

    No building permit shall be issued by any officer, department or employee of the city unless the application for such permit has been examined and approved by the Director of community development and general services department or his/her designee certifying that the proposed building, structure, or alteration complies with all provisions of this chapter. Building permits may not be issued on properties for which city taxes are delinquent. Any building permit issued in conflict with the provisions of this chapter shall be null and void.
