13.02 BUILDING PERMIT

No building may be erected, reconstructed, or structurally altered nor shall any work be started, upon it until a “Building Permit” for it has been issued by the City Clerk. The permit must state that the builder must construct the proposed building in compliance with all provisions of this Ordinance. The permit must be valid for one year following issuance of any permit for property zoned residential, commercial, industrial, or planned area development. At the end of the one year period, the applicant may purchase a one-time, three-month extension of the permit for a fee that will be established by resolution of the City Council.

Dates: an Iowa ordinance takes effect when it is published after adoption. Where the clerk's certificate records the publication date it is used; otherwise the adoption date stands in for it. "Not yet consolidated" means the ordinance amends this section but its new text has not been checked into this compilation yet: read the ordinance.
