No building or other structure shall be erected, moved, or added to, without a permit therefor issued by the Zoning/Building Administrator. No zoning/building permit shall be issued except in conformity with the provisions of this chapter, except after written order from the Board of Adjustment. Fees for zoning/building permits shall be as provided by Council resolution. Zoning/building permits shall be applied for with the Clerk and shall expire two years after the date of issuance if work is begun within 180 days of issuance or after 180 days if no substantial beginning of construction has occurred. Extensions of time may be granted in writing by the Zoning/Building Administrator for good cause.
