A. 
No person shall move any building or structure within or into the unincorporated area of the county, without first obtaining from the building official a relocation permit and a building permit.

2. 
Infested with rats or other vermin or the wood members of the building are infested with rot, decay or termites;
3. 
So unsanitary or filthy that it would constitute a hazard to the health of the persons who will occupy said building after relocation or, if not intended for occupancy by human beings, would make it unsuitable for its intended use;
4. 
In such condition or of a type, character, size or value and is so inharmonious with other buildings in the neighborhood of the relocation site, that placing the building at the proposed relocation site would substantially diminish the value of other property or improvements in the district into which the building is to be relocated;

(Ord. 1255 § 3, 2020)
Every application for a relocation permit shall be in writing upon a form furnished by the building official and shall set forth such information as may reasonably be required in order to carry out the purposes of this chapter. Such information may include:
A. 
Photographs of the building or structure to be moved and photographs of the buildings on the properties contiguous with the premises onto which the building or structure is to be moved;
B. 
A report from a licensed structural pest control contractor stating the condition of the building or structure as to decay and pest infestation;
C. 
A report from a registered engineer or architect stating the structural condition of the building, and clearly indicating steps to be taken to preserve/enhance said condition.
(Ord. 1255 § 3, 2020)
If the building or structure to be moved fails to meet any of the standards set forth in Section 14.16.010, but it appears to the building official that the deficiencies can be corrected, the permits shall be issued only on condition that all deficiencies be corrected.
In order to determine any matter regarding relocation of a building or structure, the building official may cause any investigation to be made which he or she believes necessary.
(Ord. 1255 § 3, 2020)
In granting a relocation permit, there may be imposed such terms and conditions as are reasonable, including, but not limited to, changes, alterations, additions or repairs to the building or structure so that its relocation will not be materially detrimental or injurious to the public safety or welfare or to the property or improvements in the district to which it is to be moved. The terms and conditions upon which each permit is granted shall be in writing upon application and permit or appended thereto.
(Ord. 1255 § 3, 2020)
The fee for relocation investigation services and relocation and demolitions permits shall be set by resolution of the board of directors. The fee shall be calculated so as to recover the total cost of administration and enforcement of this chapter, but shall not exceed the actual cost of the regulatory program authorized by this chapter.
(Ord. 1255 § 3, 2020)
It shall be the duty of any person to whom any permit is issued for the demolition or for the removal of any building, or any section or portion of any building pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, and of any person leasing, owning, or occupying or controlling any lot or parcel of ground from which a building is removed or demolished, to remove all weeds, concrete or stone foundations, at concrete, concrete patios, masonry walls, garage floors, driveways, and similar structures and all loose, miscellaneous, and useless material from such lot or parcel of ground, and to properly cap the sanitary sewer house connection, and to properly fill or otherwise protect all basements, cellars, septic tanks, wells, and other excavations.
(Ord. 1255 § 3, 2020)
If the unlawful, dangerous or defective condition of the building or structure proposed to be relocated is such that remedy or correction cannot practicably and effectively be made, the relocation permit shall be denied.
(Ord. 1255 § 3, 2020)
A relocation permit shall expire and become null and void if the moving of the building or structure is not completed within sixty days from the date of the permit.
(Ord. 1255 § 3, 2020)
No relocation permit required by this chapter shall be issued by the building official unless the applicant therefor first posts a bond executed by the owner of the premises where the building or structure is to be located, as principal, and a surety company authorized to do business in the state, as surety. The bond shall be in form joint and several, shall name the county as obligee and shall be in an amount equal to the cost plus ten percent of the work required to be done in order to comply with all of the conditions of such relocation permit as such cost is estimated by the building official. In lieu of a surety bond the applicant may post a bond executed by the owner, as principal, and which is secured by a deposit in cash in the amount named above and conditioned as required in the case of a surety bond; such a bond as so secured is hereafter called a "cash bond" for the purposes of this section.
(Ord. 1255 § 3, 2020)
Every bond posted pursuant to this section shall be conditioned as follows:
A. 
That each and all of the terms and conditions of the relocation permit shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the building official;
B. 
That all of the work required to be done pursuant to the conditions of the relocation permit shall be fully performed and completed within the time limit specified in the relocation permit; or, if no time limit is specified, within ninety days after the date said building is moved to its new location. The time limit herein specified, or the time limit specified in any permit, may be extended for good and sufficient cause by the building official. No such extension of time shall be valid unless written and no such extension shall release any surety upon any bond.
(Ord. 1255 § 3, 2020)
A. 
Whenever the building official finds that a default has occurred in the performance of any term or condition of any permit required by this section, written notice thereof shall be given to the principal and to the surety of the bond. Such notice shall state the work to be done, the estimated cost thereof and the period of time deemed by the building official to be reasonably necessary for the completion of such work. After receipt of such notice, the surety must, within the time therein specified, either cause the required work to be performed or, failing therein, must pay over to the building official the estimated cost of doing the work as set forth in the notice, plus an additional sum equal to ten percent of the estimated cost. Upon receipt of such moneys, the building official shall proceed by such mode as he or she deems convenient to cause the required work to be performed and completed, but no liability shall be incurred therein other than for the expenditure of the sum in hand therefor. The balance, if any, of such moneys shall, upon completion of the work, be returned to the depositor, or to his or her successors or assigns, after deducting the cost incurred in obtaining the completion of the work.
B. 
If a cash bond has been posted, notice of default as provided above shall be given to the principal and if compliance is not had within the time specified, the building official shall proceed without delay and without further notice or proceedings whatever to use the cash deposited, or any portion of such deposit, to cause the required work to be done by contract or otherwise in the discretion of the building official.
C. 
When any default has occurred on the part of the principal under the preceding provisions, the surety shall have the option, in lieu of completing the work required, to demolish the building or structure and to clear, clean and restore the site. If the surety defaults, the building official shall have the same option.
D. 
In the event of any default in the performance of any term or condition of the relocation permit, the surety, or any person employed or engaged on its behalf, or the building official, or any person employed or engaged on his or her behalf, shall have the right to go upon the premises to complete the required work or to remove or to demolish the building or structure.
E. 
No person shall interfere with or obstruct the ingress or egress to or from any such premises by any authorized representative or agent of any surety or of the county engaged in the work of completing, demolishing or removing a building or structure for which a relocation permit has been issued after a default has occurred in the performance of the terms or conditions thereof.
(Ord. 1255 § 3, 2020)
The term of each bond posted pursuant to this section shall begin upon the date of the posting thereof and shall end upon completion to the satisfaction of the building official of the performance of all the terms and conditions of the relocation permit required by this section. Such completion shall be evidenced by a statement thereof signed by the building official, a copy of which will be sent to any surety or principal upon request. When a cash bond has been posted, the cash shall be returned to the depositor or to his or her successors or assigns upon the termination of the bond, except any portion thereof that may have been used or deducted as elsewhere in this chapter provided.
