§ 530-11 Land use permits.
[Amended 8-19-2003 by Res. No. 6078]
A.
No structure shall be built, moved, or structurally altered, and no land use shall be substantially altered, until a land use permit has been issued. Whenever 50% or more of a building, structure, or mobile home is destroyed by fire or other catastrophic cause, a land use permit will be required before reconstruction or repair is started on that building, structure, or mobile home. The County Zoning Administrator shall not issue a land use permit for a structure, use, or activity not in conformity with the requirements of this chapter. The fee for filing of applications for land use permits shall be established by the Price County Board of Supervisors.
[Amended 2-16-2010 by Res. No. 2-10]
B.
All government entities covered by County zoning shall obtain all necessary permits; however, they are exempt from paying County zoning fees.

B.
The permit shall allow the temporary use for a specified period not to exceed one year from the date of issuance. Extension of a temporary use shall require a conditional use permit.
