PROBLEMS OFTEN develop j when they decide to add, just a little bit, to what was there before, and for the owners protection now . and in the future, getting an inspection permit could solve some of those snags, emphasizes Neal Sessions, the countys building inspector. Building Safety Noting that ' Week will be observed May hes quick to underline the fact inwind-damag- 4, spections and permits are for their (homeowners) protection, Construction costs are high, and the inspector probably wont catch all (mistakes), but youre assured itll be a better product if hes there to check the work. i I i . 4 . 4 part of any inspection is to assure the contractor is A BASIC licensed and follows the latest building codes, a process thats constantly updated as improved building methods and safety stan-- j dards are determined. It isnt the ) j ; j same as it was 20 years ago. Re- quirements are different. In a lot of ways, its easier now than it would-- j ve been using old methods (of construction), he emphasizes. Proper inspections and permits not only help set the proper tax rate, but are for their (current homeowner) and the next persons 1 j safety." That point hits home strongly, say, if someone adds a room, and ends up in court after selling the building. "THERE HAVE been numerous recent court cases involved where people have not gotten permits, such as for basement additions, etc. The new owners come back on I : i PRES. NEWELL Law inquired the people because it was not spected and didnt get the proper permits. Maybe it didnt have the proper fire ore electrical standards, for instance. Maybe things were omitted in construction thatve led to things not operating properly. Or maybe the emergency bedroom egress (exit) wasnt included. Then, theres always the chance the building wasnt properly located on the property. If it goes into litigation, things become extremely expensive, Mr. Sessions indicates. Some (building changes) have been revoked, it creates numerous problems. PEOPLE ARE often afraid theyll get on to the tax the main reason people try to avoid inspections and permits. If they build without a permit and are caught, the building code provision dictates they pay the investigation fee and that doubles the inspection fee, he reiterates as a determination of what constructions already been completed must be filed. The permit fee is based on the square footage. In the unincorporated county area, a $300 fee would be asked for a 1,600 square foot (home. That fee could be up to triple in some cities, however. BUILDING permits are required for any replacement, he notes, including garages. Portable structures, though, such as tool or storage sheds or playhouses, are exempt. If theyre not over 10 by 12 feet or 120 square feet, theyre okay without a permit.. Installation of a woodburning stove, though, requires inspection with a permit issued thereafter covering any necessary structural alterations. Its very serious" business, he adds, emphasizing the safety aspect that obtaining an inspection provides. rolls--tha- STARTING AFRIL 28 and continuing through May 13aspccial quilt exhibition will be hclJ in the Layton Heritage Museum.
