A. Permit Required: No person, firm or corporation shall erect, construct, enlarge or modify any building or structure, or change the use of any existing building without first obtaining a separate permit therefor, as defined in this chapter, for each such building.
B. Application For Permit:
1. Contents: To obtain a permit, the owner or his/her representative shall file an application therefor on a form furnished by the County for that purpose, and said application shall include a signed statement indicating the purpose of the building unit. A set of plans must be furnished at the time of the permit application. Said plan shall include, at a minimum, the following information:
a. Plot Plan: Showing location and distance from lot lines of existing and proposed structures, well and septic.
b. Foundation Plan: Showing detail of size, height and reinforcement used in footings and foundation walls. Size and spacing of concrete pads must also be included.
c. Complete Floor Plan: Showing dimensions and uses of each room; also window and door locations and sizes.
d. Structural Plan: Showing member sizing and spacing for walls, floors and roof.
2. Exception: The county building officer may reduce or waive the requirements of submission of plans if he/she finds that the nature of the work applied for is such that reviewing of plans is not necessary to obtain compliance with this chapter. To obtain a permit to construct an agricultural building, only an accurate site plan is needed.
C. Voided Permits: A permit issued through the presentation of a false or a misleading application shall be void. Individuals working under void permits shall be subject to the penalties described in this chapter as though no permit was ever issued. No refund shall be made to anyone obtaining a void permit.
