§ 24-80. Permits required.

A permit shall be required for any clearing, grading, excavation, construction, reconstruction, non-minor change of occupancy or use, land development, re-development or building activity, except as specifically exempted by these regulations or per section 24-81 below. These regulations include the following four kinds of permits, the procedures for administration of which are found in section 24-85 below:

(a)

A building permit, where compliance with zoning is assessed, shall be required for any new building activity listed as "permitted" in the various districts adopted by these regulations (see sections 24-15 through 24-39).

(b)

A conditional use permit shall be required for any land use or building activity listed as a "conditional use" in the various zoning districts (see sections 24-15 through 24-39).

(c)

A change of occupancy permit is required when a non-minor change in use or occupancy occurs in a building or on a premises.

(d)

A certificate of occupancy is required when a new building is completed.

Building permit applications are submitted with applications for the above permits when building codes apply to the development. Building permits are then processed by the Miles City building inspector in conjunction with zoning review by the administrator and, when applicable, the board of adjustment. Sign permits are authorized under separate ordinance—see Appendix H of the International Building Code for sign regulations in Miles City.
