§ 44-81. Building to be moved.

(a)

Permit required within city limits. No building or structure which is either wholly or partially constructed may be moved from outside the city limits. Any building or structure, which has been wholly or partially erected on any premises, located within the city, shall not be moved to and be placed upon any other premises in this city until a permit to use such building or structure, after being moved, shall have been secured under article XXIX of this chapter. Any such building or structure shall fully conform to all the provisions of this chapter, in the same manner as a new building or structure.

(b)

Inspection required for permit. Before a permit may be issued for moving a building or structure, the building inspector shall inspect same and shall determine if it is in a safe condition to be moved, whether it may be reconditioned to comply with the building code and other city requirements for the use and occupancy for which it is to be used and whether it will be of similar character with the buildings in the area where it is to be moved. Providing these conditions can be complied with, a permit shall be issued for the moving of said building or structure.
