A. No structure shall be built, moved, or structurally
altered, and no land use shall be substantially altered, until a land
use permit has been issued. Whenever 50% or more of a building, structure,
or mobile home is destroyed by fire or other catastrophic cause, a
land use permit will be required before reconstruction or repair is
started on that building, structure, or mobile home. The County Zoning
Administrator shall not issue a land use permit for a structure, use,
or activity not in conformity with the requirements of this chapter.
The fee for filing of applications for land use permits shall be established
by the Price County Board of Supervisors.

obtain all necessary permits; however, they are exempt from paying
County zoning fees. Any fee that is not directly associated with the
County zoning fee shall be paid unless waived by the Land Use and
UW Extension Committee (i.e., state sanitary fee, Register of Deeds
fees, and publication fees).
