Chapter 1.34
DISPLAY OF LICENSES AND PERMITS

Sections:

1.34.100 License or permit display – Inspection – Penalty for violation.

Any person, corporation or association required to obtain a license or permit under the Issaquah Municipal Code must make the license or permit available for display and/or inspection as follows:

A. All Zoning and Land Related Licenses or Permits. Any license or permit which authorizes improvement and/or occupation of real property, including, but not limited to, business licenses, street use, excavation, land clearing, erosion and sediment control permits, shall be displayed on the site of the subject area covered by the permit in such a manner as to be clearly visible and available for inspection by City personnel. If, for any reason, such a display of a license or permit is not feasible, a request at the time of the application to exempt a licensee or a prospective permittee from displaying the license or permit shall be made. The issuing authority shall consider all such requests on a case-by-case basis.

B. All Other Licenses or Permits. Any license or permit which does not deal with improvement and/or occupation of real property, including but not limited to sign permits, must be clearly displayed or referenced on the subject area covered by the license or permit.

C. Display Period. Every license or permit authorized by the Issaquah Municipal Code must be displayed as required by this section for the length of the time stated on the license or permit; or, if there is no time limit, the license or permit must be available for display for the duration of the applicant’s use of the license or permit. If a license or permit is required in order to perform work at a location, any work activity performed on a site without a clearly visible license or permit, unless otherwise exempted by subsection A above, shall be deemed a violation of this section.

D. Violation. Any person violating any provision of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $5,000 or 365 days in jail, or both such fine and jail. (Ord. 1667 § 1, 1985).
