§ 150.07 REGISTRATION OF GENERAL AND SPECIALIZED CONTRACTORS.

   (A)   Effective July 1, 2009, all general and specialized contractors building new construction, or making alterations or repairs to existing construction on structures totaling more than 100 square feet, or having a cost to the ultimate owner over $500, shall register annually with the Plan Commission. Handymen who provide repair or maintenance services, which would not require a building permit under the Building Code of the City of Madison, are exempt from the provisions of this section.

   (B)   Each annual registration shall include any information that the Building Inspector reasonably requests including, but not limited to, a list of subcontractors the general contractor employs, a copy of the general and specialized contractors’ current certificate(s) of insurance, a statement of the general and specialized contractors’ qualifications, and a list of previously completed building projects.

   (C)   General and specialized contractors required to register herein shall pay an annual registration fee, which fee may be revised periodically by the Board of Public Works and Safety.

   (D)   All registration documents required herein shall be considered public record and shall be available for inspection by members of the public at all reasonable times.

   (E)   The general and specialized contractors registered herein are required to have their registration with them at all times while performing any work requiring the registration.

   (F)   Any general or specialized contractor who fails to register as required herein with the Plan Commission may not obtain building permits from the Plan Commission Office. The City Building Inspector will enforce this section and will issue a “Stop” order on all work that violates division (A). In addition, violators are subject to a fine of up to $250 for the first violation of this section, and a fine of up to $2,500 for a second and each subsequent violation of this section. Any general or specialized contractor who requires a replacement registration will be charged a replacement fee. The replacement fee may be revised periodically by the Board of Public Works and Safety.

BUILDING PERMIT

§ 150.20 PERMIT REQUIRED.

   A permit shall be obtained before beginning construction, alteration, or repair of any building or structure, the cost of which exceeds $500, using forms furnished by the Building Inspector. All permits shall be issued by the Building Inspector, and all fees required by this code shall be paid to the City Plan Commission.

(Ord. 1987-l, passed 3-3-87; Am. Ord. 4-1988, passed 5-17-88)

§ 150.21 APPLICATION FOR PERMIT.

   (A)   No building permit shall be issued for the foregoing purposes, unless the application for a permit is accompanied by a plat or sketch of the proposed location showing lot boundaries, and by plans and specifications showing the work to be done. In addition, a copy of a design release, issued by the State Building Commissioner and the State Fire Marshal pursuant to IC 22-15-3-1 and a complete set of plans, identical to those released for construction by the Indiana Department of Fire and Building Services, shall be provided to the Building Inspector before issuance of a permit for construction covered by such design release, and a storm water drainage plan prepared by a design professional, as defined in 675 IAC 12-6-2, section 2(d) of the Indiana General Administrative Rules, shall be submitted to the Building Inspector and the Plan Commission. This plan must be reviewed and approved by the Plan Commission prior to the issuance of the building permit. Any changes or corrections to the original plans shall require the submission of amended plans identical to those changes released for construction by the Indiana Department of Fire and Building Services. The Building Inspector shall suspend or revoke a building permit when it has been determined that submitted plans are not correct, current, or are not identical to those released by the Indiana Department of Fire and Building Services. No permit shall be issued for a project requiring a construction design release by the Indiana Department of Fire and Building Services unless a Plan Authentication Agreement Form, as the same has been approved by the Building Inspector, has been signed by the applicant and submitted to the Building Inspector.

   (B)   However, project applications involving Class II structures, as defined by the current Indiana General Administrative Rules, shall not require a prepared drainage plan unless requested by the Building Inspector as a result of specific site concerns. However, all such drainage associated with the project shall be in compliance with applicable sections of the current Indiana one-and-two-family dwelling code as well as other applicable statutes and ordinances. In no case shall the resultant drainage changes adversely affect the public drainage system or neighboring properties.

§ 150.22 REVIEW OF APPLICATION.

   Prior to the issuance of any building permit, the Building Inspector shall:

   (A)   Review all building permit applications to determine full compliance with the provisions of this chapter.

   (B)   Review all building permit applications for new construction or substantial improvements to determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding.

   (C)   Review building permit applications for major repairs within the flood plain area having special flood hazards to determine that the proposed repair uses construction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to flood damage, and uses construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage.

   (D)   Review building permit applications for new construction or substantial improvements within the flood plain area having special flood hazards to assure that the proposed construction, including prefabricated and mobile homes, is protected against flood damage, is designed (or modified) and anchored to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement of the structure, flood damage, and uses construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage.

   (E)   Review all building permit applications involving new construction, substantial improvements or site earthwork for proper drainage to reasonably ensure that storm water runoff will not have a detrimental effect on adjoining, adjacent or other area properties resulting form an increased flow of such runoff. The Building Inspector shall report all findings to the Plan Commission in writing.
