(a) No person, firm or corporation shall hereafter erect, alter, wreck or move any building or part thereof, or make any excavation on any lot, without first having secured a building permit therefor, provided, that no such permit shall be necessary for the construction, reconstruction or alteration of a building not used for commercial or industrial purposes where the cost of such work does not exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00), nor shall any permit be necessary for ordinary cultivation of land, or landscaping of any lot.
(b) Application for building permit shall be made to the City Recorder on blank forms to be furnished by the City. Each application for a permit to construct or alter a building shall be accompanied by a plan, plat or map drawn to scale showing the dimensions of the building to be erected, including plot plans to scale. The application shall contain such other information as may be deemed necessary for the proper enforcement of this Ordinance. All building permits shall be acted upon within ten days from the date of the application therefor.
