Building Slows In Garden City

Anita Weston, Reporter

Rich Civic Times

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  February 11, 2016. George Peart, Rich County/Garden City residential building inspector, noted that he is currently working with two homes, two remodels and a garage.  So far this year, no new permits have been issued.

Last year there were 51 permits issued by Garden City.  Forty-one of these permits were for homes—30 new homes and 11 remodels.  The other permits were for garages and other outside buildings.  There are several new homes being built along the lake shore.  The older homes are being torn down and new, bigger ones are built on those locations.

The Utah League of Cities noted that the City does not enforce or deal with any problems in subdivisions brought about by their having more strict requirements than the City.  The enforcement of their rules is the subdivision's responsibility.
