The City of Carlin's Building Official is part of the Public Works Department and is responsible for plan review of all building and construction, determining permit valuation based on the project scope and issuing the permits.
The Building Official/Inspector conducts required inspections during the construction process and, upon successful completion of the project in accordance with all building code requirements, issues the Certificate of Occupancy.
Residents and businesses planning construction projects, including renovations and remodels, should make contact with the Building Official prior to commencing to determine what, if any, permits may be required. Completing a project without a permit when one is required could result in double the fee. A few items that do NOT require a permit are as follows:
-- One-story detached accessory buildings less than 200 square feet
-- Fences not over 6 feet (in back yards)
-- Retaining walls not over 4 feet
-- Water tanks supported directly upon grade if the capacity does not exceed 5,000 gallons
-- Sidewalks and driveways
-- Painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, counter tops and similar finish work
-- Prefabricated swimming pools less than 24 inches deep
-- Swings and other playground equipment
-- Window awnings supported by an exterior wall that do not project more than 54 inches from the exterior wall and do not require additional support
-- Decks not exceeding 200 square feet in area, that are not more than 30 inches above grade at any point, are not attached to a dwelling and do not serve the exit door required by Section R311.4
As always in life, when in doubt, ask! We are here to help.
