The Code Enforcement Office is responsible
for the protection of the Health, Safety and Welfare of the residents
and visitors to our community. The many codes, ordinances and
regulations that have been adopted either by the Town Council, State or
Federal governments all have that basic goal as their basis. This office
is available for discussion on any issue of concern; from building
issues to any questions concerning local Zoning and subdivision.
A building project can only
be successful by starting with proper planning. The Code Enforcement
Official can help with the initial planning by advising the applicant on
what codes are current, local conditions and requirements, and
procedures required from start to completion of the project. The
submission of a building permit application requires the Code
Enforcement Official to do a plan review prior to the issuance of any
building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical permits to verify that the
applicant has complied with all local Zoning and all building, plumbing,
electrical, mechanical or fire codes. This process is very important to
the applicant and contractors shall not start work until the permit and
drawings have been released by our office; otherwise work may be
installed incorrectly or with inadequate materials that would have to be
replaced at applicant's or contractor's additional expense. This office
also provides inspections for all permits issued. A Certificate of
Occupancy is required after all work is completed and all inspections
pass prior to the applicant moving in or occupying the space.
