§ 151.144 ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS AND CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION OF IMPROVEMENTS.
   As provided for elsewhere in this chapter, building permits shall not be issued prior to the approval of the final plat. The developer’s agreement may provide further restrictions on the issuance of building permits. Certificates of occupancy shall not be issued until such time as adequate improvements have been made and accepted on the site. Minimum improvements shall be functioning sewer, water, electricity, provision for heating, and sufficient improvement of the street to provide all weather access by the prospective occupant and by police and fire equipment. Adequacy of improvements shall be determined by the County Engineer and responsible authority. No building permit shall be issued for the final 10% of lots in a subdivision or if 10% be less than two, for the final two lots of a subdivision, until all public improvements required by the County Board for the plat have been fully completed and dedicated to the responsible authority. However, this provision does not require the county to issue any building permits until all improvements required by the county have been fully completed and accepted by the county.
