I affirm that I have read and understand Ordinance #280 requiring construction/building permits in the City of Waskom.
I understand that a permit fee of $25.00 must be paid before the City will issue a permit. I agree to allow the City of
Waskom to inspect the site at the above location at their convenience before permit is granted. I understand
construction must begin on or before the 30 th day after the permit is granted. If a permit herein is granted, but
construction has not begun on or before the 30th day, the permit expires and a new permit must be issued by the City.
I understand that it is my responsibility to contact all parties that may have lines, pipes or other objects
running under or through the property where structures are to be built or placed. Calling DIGTESS at 1-800 344 8377 or
811 for underground utility location requests will help in determining line locations.
I understand that if the location of development is in, or in close proximity to, a floodplain, that a floodplain
development permit may be required and additional fees may apply.
I understand the building/construction area is to be clearly marked and that an approved copy of this permit shall be
kept on site and available for viewing by City of Waskom representatives at all times.
By issuing of this permit, the City of Waskom assumes no liability for damages to person or property, for any reason
associated with the replacement, construction, or locations of any structure.
I understand that no City of Waskom utilities will be furnished until a valid construction/building and/ or floodplain
