Prior to relocating any structures in San Benito County, a permit must first be issued by the Building Department. Permit application requirements shall be established by the Building Official. All plans, diagrams, photos and other required submittal information shall be submitted at the time of applying for the relocation and building permit. Fees for the application will be set periodically by resolution from the Board of Supervisors.
(1966 Code, § 5-28) (Ord. 501, (part))
No structure shall be moved from any site to a new site within the county until it is, first inspected by the Building Official or his or her deputy and is approved for the relocation. The structure shall be inspected for building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical code compliance in order to assure minimum code conformance. If the structure does not meet minimum code requirements as determined by the initial inspection, the structure shall not be approved for relocation or reuse, except if a bond, letter of credit, or other guarantee acceptable to the RMA Director is provided to the county sufficient to perform all work necessary to remedy all code violations and a written agreement is entered into with the property owner where the building will be located guaranteeing all work will be performed within 12 months.
(1966 Code, § 5-29) (Ord. 501, (part); Ord. 988, § 1, 2019)
A cash bond or letter of credit shall be required to assure performance in compliance with any relocation permit. If for any reason the structure is not completed according to approved plans or the structure is abandoned, the bond shall be used by the county to either finish the structure, or demolish and remove the structure from the site. The bond shall be in the amount necessary to complete all work on the relocated structure. The bond amount shall reflect the actual cost and be determined by the Building Official, but in no event be less than $5,000. Failure to complete structure within one year shall cause the calling of the bond.
