Appeal of any decision of the enforcing officer, may be made to the board of adjustment as provided in the law of the state of Montana. (Ord. 599, 8-5-1974, eff. 9-4-1974)
A building permit shall be issued by the enforcing officer before any building, or premises, or part thereof may hereafter be created, erected, changed or converted, wholly, or in part, in its use or structure, to the effect that such building and use proposed therefor, conform to the provisions of this title. A certificate of occupancy shall be applied for and issued before any building or premises, or part thereof, for which a building permit has been issued, is allowed to be placed in use, certifying that such building and use proposed therefor conform to the provisions of the building permit and this title. (Ord. 621, 8-4-1975, eff. 9-3-1975)
Temporary certificates of occupancy may be issued for a period not exceeding six (6) months, during the completion of any alterations, or during a partial occupancy of such building. Such temporary certificates shall not be extended, nor shall they, in any way, affect the rights, duties and obligations of the owner or the city relative to the use or occupancy of the premises converted, or any other matter covered by this title.
Each application for a building permit must be accompanied by a plat drawn to scale, and in such form, as may be prescribed by the building inspector, showing the actual size and dimensions of the lot to be built upon, the size of the building to be erected, and such other information as may be necessary to provide for the enforcement of the regulations in this title, and the issuing, as before required, of a certificate of occupancy. The building inspector shall file a careful record of such application and plat. (Ord. 599, 8-5-1974, eff. 9-4-1974)
