This article shall be enforced by the administrative officer appointed by the governing body to perform the duties of the Zoning Officer.

No land shall be occupied and no building or structure or part thereof shall be erected, constructed, reconstructed, structurally altered or moved until a zoning permit has been issued by the Zoning Officer.

No zoning permit shall be issued for the erection, construction, reconstruction, structural alteration or moving of any building or structure or part thereof unless the plans and intended use for the same indicate that such building or structure is designed and intended to conform in all respects to the provisions of this article.

The Zoning Officer shall be and is hereby authorized to revoke any zoning permit if it is found that actual conditions or construction do not adhere either to the plans or specifications submitted to the Zoning Officer or to any other applicable municipal, county or state laws or regulations pertaining to the use or development of lands.

The zoning permit shall specify the use of land or a building in any circumstances or conditions imposed by any public agency, code, or regulations. Any change in use, including a change from one permitted use to another kind of permitted use in the same zone, or any additional use, shall be treated as a new use, and a new zoning permit shall be required. Prior to the issuance of a zoning permit for said change in use, all provisions of this article shall be satisfied in the same manner as if the proposed use were a new structure or a new use of land.

A record of all zoning permits shall be maintained on file in the office of the Zoning Officer, and copies thereof shall be furnished upon request to any person having a proprietary, contract or leasehold interest in the building or land affected.

It shall be the duty of the Zoning Officer to investigate any violations of this article coming to such officer's attention whether by complaint or arising from personal knowledge of the Zoning Officer. If a violation is found to exist, the official shall take such action as appears appropriate under the circumstances.
