There shall be no construction or erection of any type of structure or manufacture of any kind, temporary or permanent, without obtaining a building permit from the city. Every person or entity shall make application for a building permit prior to the commencement of any type or kind of construction of any nature within the city and shall pay, therefore, the fees established. A permit shall be obtained if any existing structure is remodeled or rebuilt which involves any structural changes or additions to said structure. A building permit for remodeling shall be valid for a period of six months from the date it is issued and construction must be completed within that time period. A building permit for new construction shall be valid for a period of nine months from the date it is issued and construction must be completed within that time period. The holder of a building permit may apply to the Building Inspector for an extension of the time to complete construction. Each extension shall be for a period of no more than three months. If the Building Inspector finds good cause for the extension and the extension is granted, the holder of the permit shall pay the appropriate fee for the extension.
