All City staff shall submit all suspected violations of this title to the City Attorney.

A. Assessor-Treasurer. The County Assessor-Treasurer, when requested to segregate any parcel of land which appears to be in violation of this title, shall notify the City Attorney.

B. Building Inspection and Permits Department. All applicants for building permits shall show by instrument of conveyance and an affidavit from his vendor, grantor or the applicant, that their building lot is not a division from an original tract or that they or their predecessors have complied with or are exempt from this title. Building permits shall be denied to any applicant whose parcel, lot or tract is not in compliance with this title. No building permit shall be issued for any lot within a plat or short plat until final approval is obtained from the appropriate City authority except as provided herein for model homes.

Building permits except as provided herein shall not be issued to any applicant until his site plan includes any required or mentioned element noted on the final plat, short plat or large lot division, including but not limited to building site location, access, drainage, sewers or septic tank and water system. An occupancy certificate shall not be issued until all such required or mentioned elements are satisfied.

C. Health Department. Septic tank permits may be denied to any applicant whose parcel, lot or tract is not divided in compliance with this title.

D. Assessor-Treasurer. A one percent real estate excise tax affidavit shall be filed in the County Assessor-Treasurer’s Office for all transfers of real property within the City. The affidavit shall include a parcel number or numbers of the current tax account or accounts involved in the sale. If there is a separation of said tax account, the total acreage or square footage of said tax account shall be stated therein and a rough diagram of the original parcel and the divided parcel shall be drawn thereon. Said diagram shall identify the section, township, range, quarter section and placement of existing buildings.

At the determination of the Assessor-Treasurer that the parcel sold is less than 20 acres and is a segregation from the original parcel, he/she shall require that said affidavit be approved by the City Community and Economic Development Department before he may place the excise stamp on the conveying instrument for the real property.
