Board given copy of new SDCL 11-10-15 outlining permit exemptions for certain exterior repairs
Summary
Meeting minutes record that members received SDCL 11-10-15, which prevents municipalities from requiring permits for specified minor exterior repairs or substantially similar replacements to detached single‑family owner‑occupied residences, with an exception for designated historical properties.
During new business the Planning and Zoning Board was provided a copy of newly cited state law SDCL 11‑10‑15. The statute, as read in the minutes, states that counties, municipalities, or townships may not require building permits for certain repairs or substantially similar replacements to existing exterior parts of detached single‑family owner‑occupied residences, and it lists covered items including doors (same dimensions), downspouts, fascia, fencing panels or posts, gutters, nonstructural siding, soffits, and windows (same dimensions).
The minutes also record the statute's proviso that nothing in the section relieves a homeowner from compliance with other applicable building codes or ordinances and that permits may be required for repairs to designated historical properties under chapter 1‑19B. Board members received the statute for review; the minutes do not record immediate policy action or rule changes by the board in response.
