Zoning permits (Additional Legal Subjects)

Thu, 15 Jun 2006 18:16:00 GMT

The township where I live requires you to have a permit for hot tubs.
What can be done if no permit is obtained ? Does the zoning officer
have an obligation when the permit is not obtained? Can you be made to
remove the hot tub?

    I agree with Martel that the township will be more interested in revenue
    than correction. But still, you could be required to either remove the
    whole thing, or at lease uncover the features that a building inspector
    would like to look at. And if there is a master plan or ordinance that says
    don't put a hot tub in the sort of location where yours is, they might tell
    you to remove it and give you repeated fines until you do, or they could
    remove it for you and send you the bill. It would be best to go get the
    permit and arrange for the inspection even if the township hasn't found out
    about it, because there are safety issues associated with hot tubs, and
    apparently you didn't have it installed by a licensed contractor because
    such a person would have obtained a permit.

  • John,

    Why would the town want to tear down the tub? The permitting process
    probably ensures that the town collects a fee and that the tub is listed for
    tax purposes. I bet that's what they want. In return you get a hot tub that
    has good plumbing and electricity.
    If you failed to get a permit the town will probably try to collect the
    permit fee anyway. Try to ensure that the town does do a safety inspection.

    Good luck,
    Dave M.
