Sec. 18-67New buildings; numbers required, prerequisite to issuance of building permit and final approval of structure
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This chapter says which state construction codes the city enforces (building, plumbing, electrical, fire and so on), requires every house and building to display its assigned street number, and sets water-saving limits for toilets, faucets and shower heads. It's short, and the list of code editions hasn't been updated since 2009.
Whenever any house or building shall be erected or located in the city, the owner shall procure the correct number or numbers as designated by the city or its designee for the property and shall immediately fasten the number or numbers so assigned upon such house or building as provided by this article. A building permit shall not be issued for any house, building or structure until the owner has procured from the city or its designee the official number of the premises. Final approval of any structure erected, repaired or altered or modified shall be withheld by the building inspector for the city until permanent and proper numbers have been affixed to such structure.
