CHAPTER 203

BUILDING PERMIT REQUIRED

§ 203.01 BUILDING PERMIT REQUIRED.

Except as hereinafter provided, no person, firm, or corporation shall construct, erect, structurally alter, demolish, or move any building or structure or parts thereof within the corporate limits of the city without first securing a building permit from the city. The review and approval of site improvements pursuant to the requirements of city adopted building and fire codes shall be in addition to the requirements of Chapter 199 (Site Plan Review) of this title, if applicable. The site plan review and approval process established under Chapter 199 (Site Plan Review) of this title does not imply compliance with the requirements of building and fire codes. Application for a building permit shall be made on form(s) to be furnished by the city.

(Ord. 2011-06-07A, passed 6-7-2011)

§ 203.02 CERTIFICATE OF SURVEY REQUIRED.

Construction projects exempt from the requirements of Chapter 199 (Site Plan Review) which involve new construction, additions, and enlargements, shall be required to submit a certificate of survey prepared and signed by a Minnesota licensed land surveyor. The certificate of survey shall have been signed and prepared within the last 10 years from the date of submittal, unless the property pins are not found and established, in which case a new certificate of survey shall be required. Furthermore, after property pin location is established, the project must be staked out prior to the issuance of a building permit, unless specifically waived by the city.

(Ord. 2011-06-07A, passed 6-7-2011)

§ 203.03 EXPIRATION AND EXTENSION OF BUILDING PERMIT.

Expiration of permits shall be in accordance with the Building Code unless otherwise specified. If the work for which a permit was issued does not commence within 180 days or if the work is suspended or abandoned for a period of 180 days, the permit shall be considered void and invalid. The city may grant, in writing, extensions for periods of not more than 180 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing prior to the expiration of the permit and justifiable cause demonstrated. The decision of the city may be appealed to the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.

(Ord. 2011-06-07A, passed 6-7-2011)

§ 203.04 CERTIFICATION OF TAXES PAID.

Prior to approving an application for a building permit, the applicant shall provide certification to the city that there are no delinquent property taxes, special assessments, interest, or city utility fees due upon the parcel of land to which the building permit application relates.
