What permits for moving a building to a new location?

The permit (single) we issue includes the footing/foundation, all underground plumbing, whatever upgrades are needed to bring the enitre structure up to all codes. R101.2, and IBC 101.2. The only relief is we have a policy for interior stairs, if technically infeasable to bring up to code due to framing considerations, we allow what they can accomplish.
 
If all they are doing is moving a building from one location to another and the use stays the same then same as fatboy footing/foundation, accessible route and utility connections under one permit.

If change of use or alterations to the building a seperate permit for that work.
 
If moving to a new site

Route Survey

Verification of height clearances FROM THE

Department of Transportation or Roads

AND Power Co.

Good point Mark, that is the permit my office requires. I know our PW Dept. had permits for moving structures that involve other agencies.
 
FWIW,

From the 2006 IBC, SECTION - 3408 MOVED STRUCTURES:

3408.1 Conformance.

Structures moved into or within the jurisdiction shall comply with the provisions of this

code for new structures.

From the 2006 IRC, R101.2 Scope.

The provisions of the International Residential Code for One- and Two-family

Dwellings shall apply to the construction, alteration, movement, enlargement,

replacement, repair, equipment, use and occupancy, location, removal and

demolition of detached one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses not more

than three stories above-grade in height with a separate means of egress and

their accessory structures.
 
IEBC would be more applicable as to what is actually required by code for a re-located building

CHAPTER 12

RELOCATED OR MOVED BUILDINGS
 
Here, same as fatboy & Papio for the structure itself. Ditto as to what Mark posted for actual move.

Planning - zoning/general plan designation match proposed use.

PW - encroachment permit, water & sewer hook-up fees, curb & gutter (if none)

FM - tank sets (propane/oil/kerosene)

Environmental Health - Septic systems & wells
 
What about a decommishing permit for the existing site to ensure that all utilities have been shut-off and disconnected? The an after move inspection to ensure that the prevous site has been cleaned up?
