(1) Any person desiring to move buildings or structures into and/or within the limits of the city shall first apply for a building permit and shall at the time of the making of such application pay to the city a fee. Fees shall be as set forth in the city fee schedule.
(2) The building or structure must be so constructed as to be in compliance with all of the building and operating codes and ordinances of the city in effect at the time of the issuance of the permit, and must be in good repair and condition.
