BUILDING MOVE PROCESS
OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS
To move a building from within City limits, to outside City limits, the following STEPS
must be taken before the move can take place:
1. Either a removal permit or both removal and demolition permits must be obtained. Only a
removal permit is required if no demolition will be required after the building is moved off
the site – check off the “Removal” box on the RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMIT
APPLICATION. Both a permit for the removal and a demolition permit are required if the
building’s foundation is to be demolished after the building is moved off the site. In the
case where a demolition permit is also required, the following must be filled out:
a. REQUEST FOR DEMOLITION PERMIT form. Follow the steps to obtain a
demolition permit that are included on the form.
b. DECLARATION OF INTENT. This form is usually filled out by the demolition
contractor, and provides information about where material that is removed from
the demolition site will be hauled. The completed form must be attached to the
Request for Demolition Permit Application. See the Declaration of Intent
Information Sheet for detailed instructions on how to fill out this application.
2. Approval to move the building must be obtained in order for the building to be moved
within the City limits. To obtain this approval, an APPLICATION TO MOVE A BUILDING
form (legal-sized) must be filled out and returned to Building Standards. A licensed
building mover is required to perform building moves within the City limits. The building
mover usually fills out this form as there are many City divisions/utility company approvals
that must be obtained and the licensed building mover’s expertise will facilitate completion
of this form and obtaining the approval. The building mover is also required to post a
Performance Bond with Transportation and Utilities, Traffic Engineering Section before a
building move approval can be obtained. See items 10, 12, 13 & 14 on the BUILDING
MOVE PROCESS INSIDE CITY LIMITS handout’s NOTES section.
