Building Permits Application Procedures.
a.
Prior to the residential erection, construction, remodel or
reconstruction of any residence or structure or any structural alteration
of an existing residence or structure within the City of Poplar Bluff,
Missouri, an application for a building permit shall be submitted
to the Planning Department.
b.
Commercial applications must be accompanied by three (3) complete
sets of blueprints and one (1) set of building specifications all
of which have been signed, sealed and dated by a professional architect
or engineer, registered in the State of Missouri. Within fifteen (15)
days of the submission of a preapplication for building permit with
all applicable accompanying documentation, the Building Inspector
shall calculate and determine a building inspection fee, plumbing
inspection fee, mechanical inspection fee and electrical inspection
fee in accordance with the provisions of this Section. A building
permit may be issued, provided the applicant has satisfied all conditions
and requirements of the building and zoning regulations of the City
of Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and the applicant's payment of all
inspection fees and building permit fees.
2.
Permit fees may be calculated utilizing the following method
listed below:
a.
The following formula will be used to determine the permit fee
for new commercial buildings within the City of Poplar Bluff. Using
the total cost of the project and applying the multiplier of .0037
determines the permit fee. If the project has a contract bid that
has been accepted, that will be the total cost. If no contract, a
total cost will be supplied by permit applicant and this will be compared
to the total cost determined by using the International Building Code
(IBC) formula for determining total construction cost. If the two
(2) figures are close, the one provided by the applicant will be used.
If the figures are some distance apart, the Building Department will
determine whether to average the two (2) or use the IBC calculated
value.
(1)
The IBC formula for determining construction value
is:
|
Gross Area x Gross Area Multiplier x Type of Construction Factor
x Permit Fee Modifier
|
(2)
Gross area is the actual square footage of the
structure.
(3)
Gross area multiplier is the factor applied to
allow for local differences in building costs compared to the national
building cost averages. This factor for new commercial buildings shall
be 0.72 and for new residential facilities shall be 0.50.
(4)
Cost per square foot is the average cost of construction
per square foot established semiannually by the International Building
Code Council, furnished by the International Code Council Building
Valuation Data, a copy of which is kept on file by the City Clerk.
(5)
Permit fee modifier is the figure established by
the Building Official which reflects the City's expenses in providing
building inspection services. The permit fee modifier is based on
the expenses of the Planning Department established by the City Council
from time to time. This figure shall be .0037.
b.
For the alteration of any existing commercial or residential
structure, the permit fee shall be calculated as four dollars ($4.00)
per one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) of estimated cost as provided
by the permit applicant.
d.
In special instances, the City of Poplar Bluff may consider
proposals to reduce or waive building permit fees, the purpose of
this action being to encourage the creation of new private sector
jobs, to increase property tax valuation, to promote the retention
and expansion of existing industry and to assist in the attraction
of new businesses to Poplar Bluff. Specifically, the employment of
this incentive shall be limited to businesses classified under the
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) manual as Sector
31-33 Manufacturing; Section 51, Subsector 514, Information Services
and Data Processing Services; and Section 54 Professional, Scientific,
and Technical Services. Warehouse and distribution facilities will
not be eligible for this incentive unless they are ancillary or accessory
to an eligible business located within the City limits of Poplar Bluff.
Any person who shall violate a provision of the code adopted
in this Article or shall fail to comply with any of the requirements
thereof or who shall erect, construct, alter or repair a building
or structure in violation of an approved plan of or directive of the
Code Official, or of a permit or certificate issued under the provision
of this code, shall be guilty of an ordinance violation, punishable
by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) or by imprisonment
not exceeding ninety (90) days, or both such fine and imprisonment.
Each day that a violation continues after due notice has been served
shall be deemed a separate offense.
