Shed Or Home?

GARDEN CITY, Utah. July 10, 2014. George Peart, Building Inspector, reported that the 14th building permit was issued to Scott Livingston.  There are four homes in Shundahai that are close to their final inspections.  That will make five new homes in that particular location.

There is currently a problem on one lot in the City.  The owner’s claim the buildings are sheds when paying taxes.  However, when confronted by the City because of holding many camping parties there, they claim it as a residence.  Camping on an empty lot that doesn’t contain a home is against City Ordinances.  These owners must decide if this is a primary residence where camping can continue, or the land contains only sheds and camping must be curtailed.  Peart was asked to look into this matter.  It was noted that if it is to be a residence, there will be road impact fees, park fees, fire fees, and sewer fees that will need to be paid.

Peart said he would look into this matter and check to see if there might be some other lots that fall into this same situation.
