If checked and the plans and specifications, as filed, appear to conform to the requirements of this chapter and other laws and ordinances, the Building Official may endorse in writing or stamp on all sets of plans and specifications, “APPROVED.” Plans and specifications shall not be changed, modified, or altered without authorization from the Building Official, and all work shall be done in accordance with the approved plans.
(Code of Iowa, Sec. 103A.19[1])
The Building Official may issue a permit for the construction of part of a building or structure before the entire plans and specifications for the whole building or structure have been submitted or approved; provided adequate information and detailed statements have been filed complying with all pertinent requirements of this chapter. The holder of such permit shall proceed at said holder’s own risk without assurance that the permit for the entire building or structure will be granted.
One set of plans, specifications, and computations shall be retained by the Building Official for a period of not less than ninety (90) days from date of completion of the work covered therein, and one set of plans and specifications shall be returned to the applicant, which set shall be kept on such building or work at all times during which the work authorized thereby is in progress.
