All homes for which building permits were pending at City Hall on January 16, 1978, shall be permitted in accordance with the building code and fee schedule as it existed prior to January 16, 1978. Between January 16, 1978, and February 1, 1978, no builder, developer, or contractor shall be permitted for more homes than he has been permitted for in a pro-rata time period for the next immediate proceeding twelve-month period of time prior to February 1, 1978. For the purpose of this computation, the builder, developer, or contractor shall be authorized additional permits for any homes that he certifies to as having been validly contracted for sale to a bona-fide third party purchaser prior to January 16, 1978.

(A) It shall be the duty of the Building and Zoning Department to bring to the attention of the City Commission all amendments to or other changes in the building code adopted in § 150.11, at the times the amendments and other changes are enacted so that the Commission may enact the amendments and changes into ordinance, and keep the building code up-to-date at all times.

(Ord. 1715, passed 5-2-12)
(A) Building permit fees shall be paid whenever a building permit is required under provisions of the building code of the city, in accordance with the schedule of fees. In the event any work for which a permit is required is started or proceeded with prior to the issuance of a permit by the duly-authorized person, the person shall be liable for and pay to the city a double permit fee for the work. The payment of the double permit fee shall be made before any further permits shall be issued to the person owing the double permit fee. The payment of the double permit fee shall not relieve any person from fully complying with the other requirements specified by ordinance nor from any other penalties prescribed therein.
(B) The fees schedules for building permit structural fees, electrical permits, gas permits, mechanical and air conditioning permits, plumbing, site improvements, and miscellaneous fees are incorporated herein by reference and available in the City Clerk's office.

(A) Whenever an application is made for a building permit in the city, it shall be the duty of the Building Official to determine whether the improvement is to be erected on a lot or tract in a section served by public sidewalks or public curbs, and whether there is a probability that the public side-walks or public curbs and gutters may be damaged by moving supplies and materials to the proposed location. If, in the opinion of the Building Official, it appears probable that, in the course of construction, the public sidewalks or public curbs and gutters in front of or adjacent to or in the neighborhood of the proposed improvement may be damaged by moving supplies and materials to the proposed location, the Building Official shall require a cash bond of $250 to be posted with him by the applicant, to guarantee during the construction, before issuing the permit.
(B) The Building Official shall give a receipt for the sum of money on a form to be prepared by him. The receipt form shall contain a provision that any part or all of the sum shall be used by the city and its employees, if necessary, in the replacement of curbs, sidewalks, and gutters broken or damaged in construction.
(C) Before final approval of any building or structure constructed, whether there has been posted a cash bond or not, the Building Official shall require the necessary replacements or repairs to sidewalks, curbs, and gutters and shall refuse final approval of the construction unless replacements and repairs are made.
('69 Code, § 6-22) (Ord. 268, passed 11-15-71; Am. Ord. 542, passed 8-18-80)
The Building Official shall be authorized to institute procedures that may be necessary and adequate to streamline the permitting process when requested by the builder, developer, or contractor involved. These procedures shall be designed to facilitate permitting of similar categories of homes and shall specifically permit builders, developers, and contractors when they so request in writing to pay the highest fee for that style home in any tract or subdivision development.
