A is auto-bicycl- e mouth-to-mout- h Building outside city? Youll need a permit "People building new homes or other structures that will require services Irom Mt. Pleasant City must have a city building permit," City Manager John Thacker said this week. Thacker said that in the past people building outside the city limits and in the county were required to have a building permit both from the city and the county. Thacker said, however, that after meeting with the Sanpete County Commission last week it was decided that this was unfair and that people would lie required to have the city permit, and then show it to the county officials. He said all lees would be paid to the city and the city inspector would do the work. Thacker reported that apparently some people building homes outside the city limits are not going to be able to have city services because they have not received a city building permit. He said that even though buildings or homes were completely constructed, city services such as power and water connections would not be provided. "Permits must be obtained prior to construction, Thacker added "and not midway or at the end of construction." f |
