The Structure tab shows details about the subject structure for the current permit or project. If there’s existing data for the parcel, a link will appear. Clicking the link fills in all fields under this tab using data stored at the parcel level. This saves the user from entering the same information again.
The Structure Type field is a drop-down list of building types from the International Building Code (IBC). These options can be changed during setup or by system administrators. This field may include important data needed for state year-end reports.
Living Space, Accessory Building, and Accessory Structure Calculations
This part of the Structure tab lets users add different floors under the main living structure. Five floors are added by default, but they don’t have to be used. Staff can also enter values for accessory buildings and structures like garages, sheds, barns, decks, patios, stoops, and porches.
Data entered will automatically be totaled at the bottom of the section. The data entered and saved in this section is pushed back to the parcel, building, or suite records.
Note:
The field totals for these 3 areas are used in conjunction with fees assigned to the record. The system will calculate those fees.
Foundation & Setbacks
Note the Foundation Material/Type as well as any Setback information.
Utility & Miscellaneous
Select the utilities that apply to the structure. Include details like driveway width and whether there is a sprinkler system.
