12-102 : Modifications.

  1. Definitions. Whenever the building code refers to the "chief appointing authority," it shall be deemed to be a reference to the board of mayor and councilmen. When the "building official" is named it shall, for the purposes of the building code, mean such person as the mayor shall have appointed or designated to administer and enforce the provisions of the building code.
  2. Permit fees. Any owner or authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system, the installation of which is regulated by the building code, or to cause any such work to be done, shall first make application to the building official and obtain the required permit. Any person, firm, corporation, or association who fails to make application for and obtain the permit required by this chapter, or any person who performs any work upon any building or structure, in the City of Baxter, for which a permit has not been obtained as herein provided, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
  3. Applications for permits. Any person, firm, corporation, or association desiring to construct, reconstruct, repair, enlarge, extend, or work upon any building or structure, or to contract for the same, shall first make application, in writing, to the city recorder for a permit to do such work, and which application shall be on such form as may be prescribed by the city recorder, and which application shall furnish the following information:

    5. The type of construction proposed and the material out of which the building or structure is to be constructed, repaired, or enlarged.
    6. The use to which said building or structure will be put.
