A. 
Permit required. No building or any part thereof shall hereafter be erected within the Village of Blue Mounds or ground broken for the same, except as hereinafter provided, until a proper permit has been obtained from the Building Inspector by the owner or his authorized agent. The term "building," as used in this section, shall include any building or structure, and any enlargement, alteration, heating or ventilating 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 upon a form furnished by the Building Inspector and shall state the name and address of the owner of the land, and also of 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 Building Inspector may require for effective enforcement of this section.
C. 
Plans. With such application there shall be submitted two complete sets of plans and specifications, including a plot plan showing the location and dimensions of all buildings and improvements on the lots, both existing and proposed, dimensions of the lot, dimensions showing all setbacks of all buildings on the lot, proposed grade of proposed structure (to Village datum), grade of lot and of the street-abutting lot, grade and setback of adjacent buildings (if adjacent lot is vacant, submit elevation of the nearest buildings on the same side of the street), type of monuments at each corner lot, watercourses or existing drainage ditches, easements or other restrictions affecting such property, seal and signature of surveyor or a certificate signed by the applicant and a construction erosion control plan setting forth proposed information and procedures needed for control of soil erosion, surface water runoff and sediment disposition at the building site. Plans, specifications and plot plans shall be drawn to a scale that will allow for proper evaluation and to standard industry practices. Plans for buildings required to comply with the State Building Code shall bear a stamp of approval from the Wisconsin Department of Commerce. Such plans and specifications shall be submitted in duplicate; one set shall be returned after approval as hereinafter provided; the other set shall remain on file in the office of the Clerk/Treasurer. All plans and specifications shall be signed by the designer.
D. 
Waiver of plans. If the Building Inspector finds that the character of the work is sufficiently described in the application, the Building Inspector may waive the filing of plans for alterations, repairs or moving, provided the cost of such work does not exceed $2,000.
E. 
Approval of plans. If the Building Inspector determines that the proposed building will comply in every respect with all ordinances of the Village and all applicable laws and orders of the State of Wisconsin, the Building Inspector shall officially approve and stamp one set of the plans and return it to the owner, and shall issue a building permit therefor, which shall be kept and displayed at the site of the proposed building. After being approved, the plans and specifications shall not be altered in any respect which involves any of the above-mentioned ordinances, laws and orders, or which involves the safety of the building or occupants, except with the written consent of the Building Inspector. If adequate plans are presented for a part of the building only, the Building Inspector, at his or her discretion, may issue a permit for only that part of the building before receiving the plans and specifications for the entire building.
F. 
Minor repairs. The Building Inspector may authorize minor repairs or alterations valued at less than $150 which do not change the occupancy, area, structural strength, fire protection, exits, light or ventilation of the building without issuing a building permit.
G. 
Permit fees. The fees for building permits shall be determined by annual resolution of the Village Board and posted in the office of the Village Clerk/Treasurer. Fees may be set by the Board based on the size of the project and the type of work being constructed or inspected.
H. 
Inspection of work. The builder shall notify the Building Inspector when ready, and the Building Inspector shall timely inspect all buildings upon request. The owner and/or contractor shall request all of the following inspections in conformity with the appropriate time frame defined in the Wisconsin Administrative Code or at least 48 hours in advance: footings, foundation/exterior drain tile; rough carpentry, HVAC, electric and plumbing; interior drain tile/basement floor or slab; underfloor plumbing/electrical/HVAC; electric service, insulation; final carpentry, HVAC, electric and plumbing; and erosion control. Failure to request any inspection will be the responsibility of the contractor and/or property owner. No construction shall be deemed approved by default or lack of inspection by the Building Inspector. The expense of uncovering or exposing any work which must be inspected, where such work was required by the failure of the contractor and/or owner to request any inspection, will be the responsibility of the contractor and/or property owner. After completion, the Building Inspector shall make a final inspection of all new buildings and alterations. If the Building Inspector finds that the works conforms to the requirements of this chapter, the Building Inspector shall issue a certificate of compliance which shall contain the date and the result of the inspection, a duplicate of which shall be filed with the Building Inspector.
I. 
Occupancy permit. If the Building Inspector, after completing all required inspections, finds that a building has been constructed in accordance with this chapter and applicable codes, then the inspector shall issue an occupancy permit. If the building fails to comply with this chapter or applicable codes in minor respects which do not threaten the safety, health or welfare of the building's occupants, the Building Inspector may issue a temporary occupancy permit for a specified term. No person may have occupancy of a building until an occupancy permit is issued.
A.
