(A) A permit shall be obtained before beginning construction, alteration or repair of any building or structure. The permit shall be obtained by using forms furnished by the Dearborn County Building Commissioner. All permits shall be issued by the Building Commissioner, or his designee, and all fees provided for herein shall be paid to the Treasurer of Dearborn County.
(B) Incidental uses outside the Historic District. The following are considered incidental accessory uses that do not require a permit hereunder and can be located within all yards. They include walks, driveways, curbs, retaining walls, lattice-work screens, trees, shrubs, flowers, plants, mailboxes, nameplates, lampposts, basketball poles, birdbaths, benches, direct television satellite dishes, and structures of a like nature. Only direct television satellite dishes that are less than 26 inches in diameter and ground-mounted may be located in a front yard. Playground equipment and similar uses do not require a permit hereunder, but are required to be located in the side or rear yards. Any such incidental uses may still require a building permit, or other permit under federal, state or local law, code or regulation. This exception for incidental uses shall not apply within any designated historic district, and any and all construction, alteration or repair of any building or structure within an historic district shall require a permit hereunder. This exception for incidental uses also shall not apply to incidental uses located within, or connecting directly to, any public or utility right-of-way or easement, which shall require a permit hereunder.
