A. Permits Required. Except as specified in Chapter 15.04 of this code, no building or structure regulated by this code shall be erected, constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, improved, removed, converted, or demolished unless a separate permit for each building or structure has first been obtained from the building official.
B. Unless otherwise exempted, separate plumbing, electrical and mechanical permits or other documentation may be required by other agencies.
C. Exemption from the permit requirements of this code shall not be deemed to grant authorization for any work to be done in any manner in violation of the provisions of this code or any other laws or ordinances of this jurisdiction.
D. It shall be further unlawful to construct or alter any building that does not comply with the plans and specifications, or detailed statement contained in the application for permit.
E. Construction for which a building permit has been issued shall be given one (1) year to complete. One (1) and only one (1) extension of one hundred eighty (180) days may be granted in the event that construction is not completed within one (1) year. In order to complete a project after an extension has once been granted, a new permit will be required, with a permit fee based on the amount of work remaining. The fee to extend a permit for an additional one hundred (180) days shall be set forth in the fee schedule as adopted by resolution.
