[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town of Barkhamsted as indicated
in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted STM 9-21-1970 by Ord. No. 12]
The Town of Barkhamsted adopts the State Building Code together
with any and all amendments to said code adopted by the State of Connecticut
pursuant to law.
[Adopted ATM 5-6-2002]
Pursuant to Connecticut General Statute § 7-148(c)(2)(B)
as amended by Public Act No. 95-320, the Building Official shall not
issue a building permit to conduct work on any real property as to
which there are outstanding delinquent taxes. Any person applying
for a building permit shall present to the Building Official a written
statement by the Tax Collector, on a form prescribed by the Tax Collector
and Building Official, that the taxes on the real property which is
the subject of the building permit application are either current
or delinquent. If the Building Official does not receive such a statement
within the time prescribed by law for deciding the building permit
application, or if the certificate indicated that there are delinquent
taxes on the property and the applicant fails to provide proof to
the Building Official within said time that such delinquent taxes
(including interest, lien fees, and litigation expenses and attorney's
fees, if applicable) have been paid in full, the Building Official
shall deny the building permit application. Nothing in this section
shall prohibit the Building Official from issuing a permit to perform
repairs to an existing structure which is unsafe within the meaning
of the State Building Code if the Building Official determines that
such repairs should be performed immediately to protect the safety
of either the building's occupants or the public, or if such
repairs should be completed within the firesafety code as determined
by the Fire Marshall.
