FINES

Fines may be issued for unregistered and unlicensed persons found working on any job. Refer to the Fine Schedule in our office. Also, please remember that all licenses and registrations are valid until 12/31 of the issue year. If at anytime during the year your insurance and bond expires and we do not receive updated copies your license or registration will no longer be valid and any open permits will be suspended. Suspension of permits and or license and registration may be mailed to you or a Stop Work Order placed on the job until the items have been resolved with our office.

INSPECTIONS

All permits issued shall have all the required inspections called in to our office, including a Final Inspection. It is the duty of the permit holder to call in all inspections. If however you are the mechanical, plumbing or electrical contractor involved in work performed under a Building Permit, please coordinate your inspections with the Building Contractor so that we may perform the inspections for all permits on that job. Failure to have a Final Inspection may result in fines and the possibility of utilities being disconnected from the building or structure.

CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY

Certificates are issued only for new construction. You will not receive a Certificate on a remodel, however passing a final inspection is required prior to occupancy. After passing a final inspection, all paperwork in our office is finalized and Planning and Zoning will then do their inspection. After all inspections have passed, the Building and Planning Departments will issue a Certificate of Occupancy. At that time, you may occupy the building or structure. Certificates are usually ready 1-2 days after passing the final inspection and can be picked up at City Hall, or faxed upon request. Failure to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy can result in fines and utilities being removed from the building.
