The following is a list of responsibilities that should be heeded by contractors during a residential construction project:
- All houses shall have the street address temporarily posted on property during construction. Lot numbers will not suffice. Permanent address must be posted before occupancy.
- Builders who need water during construction shall request a hydrant/temporary water meter from the BUILDS Department.
- Once the contractor has purchased a lot, he/she is responsible for the condition of all public improvements on that lot. All City infrastructure, i.e., sidewalks, curbs, water valves, meter pits, manholes, storm water inlets, etc., observed as damaged or non-compliant, anytime during construction, to the subject lot or adjacent lots will fall on the responsibility of the builder for repair. No Certificate of Occupancy will be issued until damaged improvements are repaired. (Ordinance No.97-56)
- The contractor shall be responsible for cleaning excess mud, dirt, and debris from the street, as upon requested by City Staff.
- The contractor shall be responsible for cleaning up trash and other debris that blows off property and onto any adjacent residential developments, public easements, or private properties.
- Refer to the building permit card for any additional requirements not specified herein.
