Topic
multiple permits for separate structures

Question

Is it the intent of FBC-B 105.1 to require multiple permits for separate structures on a single parcel of land under common ownership when submitted in a single package of documents by a design professional or owner builder and constructed as a common project?

No. The code does not specifically address the issue. Since
the code is silent on the issue, it is up to the local
jurisdiction to determine how they want to handle the matter
within their jurisdiction.

Commentary

There could also be zoning issues that predicate the issuance of separate permits for different types of structures.
