Building permits and all construction inspections are controlled through the Licking County Building Code Department. No Building Permit for the extension, erection, or alteration of any building shall be issued before an application has been made and a Certificate of Zoning Compliance issued and no building shall be occupied until such certificate is approved.
      (c)    Approval of Health Officer. In every case where the lot is not serviced with public water supply and/or the public sanitary sewer system, the application shall be accompanied by written evidence of approval by the responsible Health Officer as to the proposed method of water supply and/or treatment and disposal of sanitary waste.
