Slaughterville trustees consider ordinance aligning construction permitting with state law; emergency clause tabled
Summary
Trustees reviewed Ordinance 2026-02 to adopt Section 13-630, clarifying when owner-performed construction and statutory exemptions apply under Title 59; trustees unanimously tabled application of the ordinance’s emergency clause.
The Board considered Ordinance 2026-02, which would add Section 13-630 to Slaughterville’s municipal code to recognize and coordinate state-law exemptions under Title 59 for construction, plumbing, electrical and mechanical work while preserving the town’s ability to require permits and inspections.
The ordinance defines affidavit requirements for owner-performed work, clarifies that state law controls where licensure is required, and provides enforcement mechanisms including stop-work orders and permit suspension. Trustees voted unanimously to table consideration of the ordinance’s emergency clause, effectively delaying immediate enactment pending further review.
