ARTICLE 12

1800. - BUILDING PERMITS

[Sec. 12.1801. - Required; application; fee.]

(a)

No permit for the erection, alteration, reconstruction, conversion or use of any building shall be issued by the building inspector unless there shall be filed in his office by the applicant therefor, a plan in duplicate, drawn to scale, correctly showing the location and actual dimensions of such building, with measurements from all lot lines to all foundations lines of the building, together with a true statement, in writing, signed by the applicant, showing the use for which such building is intended and the location and dimensions of all accessory buildings. No permit shall be issued by the said building inspector unless such plan shall show in every detail that such building is to be erected and used in conformity with all the provisions of this article.

(b)

A record of such applications and plans shall be kept in the office of the building inspector. Failure of any applicant or of his agents or employees to erect, alter, move or maintain any building in conformance with such plans on which such permit is issued, when such failure constitutes a violation of any provisions of this article, shall render such permit void. The building inspector is hereby authorized and directed to revoke any such permit by giving written notice to the applicant or his agents or employees, and all work upon such building shall be immediately discontinued on the serving of such notice until such buildings shall be changed so as to comply with such plans and permits.

(c)

The building permit fees for each structure shall be as provided for in the fee schedule.
