[Amended 11-16-2017 by Ord. No. 17-02]
A. Permit required. No building or any part thereof shall hereafter
be erected within the Village of Coloma or ground broken for the same,
except as hereinafter provided until a permit therefor shall first
have been obtained from the Village Clerk/Treasurer by the owner,
or the owner's authorized agent. The term "building" as used in this section shall include any building
or structure, and any enlargement, alteration, heating or ventilating
or electrical installation, moving or demolishing, or anything affecting
the fire hazards or safety of any building or structure.
B. Application. Application for a building permit shall be made in writing
to the Zoning Administrator upon a form furnished by the Village Clerk/Treasurer
and shall state the name and address of the owner of the land, and
also the owner of the building, if different, the legal description
of the land upon which the building is to be located, and shall contain
such other information as the Village Clerk/Treasurer may require
for effective enforcement of this section.
C. Compliance with State of Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code. In making
any improvement for which a permit is required by this chapter, the
owner shall comply with the requirements of the State of Wisconsin
Uniform Dwelling Code. The Village shall have no responsibility to
advise the owner or inspect the improvement to insure that the owner
has complied with the provisions of the State of Wisconsin Uniform
Dwelling Code. The Village of Coloma contracts with Waushara County
to enforce provisions of the Uniform Dwelling Code via permit and
inspection.
(1) The
following chapter of the Wisconsin Administrative Code, to include
all subsequent revisions, are adopted by the Village and shall be

(a) Chapter SPS 316, Electrical Code.
D. Fees. The fees for building permits shall be as set forth in the
Zoning Permit Fee Schedule.
Whenever the Village finds any building or part thereof within
the Village to be in its judgment so old, dilapidated or out of repair
as to be dangerous, unsafe, unsanitary or otherwise unfit for human
occupancy or use, and so that it would be unreasonable to repair the
same, and shall order the owner, after consulting with the Village
Board, to raze and remove such building or part thereof, or if it
can be made safe by repairs to repair and make safe and sanitary,
or to raze and remove at the owner's option. Such order and proceedings
shall be as provided in § 66.0413, Wis. Stats.
The purpose of this code is to allow the Village to determine
the value of the property for tax purposes and to improve the quality
of housing in the Village. While the Village reserves the right to
conduct inspections and investigations, if it has probable cause to
believe the provisions of this chapter have been violated, the Village
assumes no duty to conduct routine inspections or to determine that
improvements made pursuant to a permit issued under this chapter do
in fact comply with the State of Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code.
Such compliance is solely the responsibility of the person or persons
making the improvements.
