City of Stinnett

The zoning ordinance requires building-permit applications with plot plans for building work. No building may be erected, reconstructed, or structurally altered without first applying for and obtaining a building permit and/or certificate of occupancy from the council after commission recommendation. Certificates of occupancy are required for occupancy and use of a building erected or structurally altered, change in use of an existing building to a different classification, and other regulated occupancies.

• Exempt Agricultural use is expressly excluded from the certificate-of-occupancy requirement for occupancy and use of vacant land

Note: No public general exempt-work list was found.
