Basement Finish Permit
General
The City of Summerset uses the 2018 version of the International Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC), and the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC).
Building Permit
A Building Permit Application must be submitted to the Summerset Planning Department before any building permits will be issued. Please read the application carefully and complete all information requested on both the front and reverse of the form AND on the attached Sewer Connection Permit Application, if applicable.
Inspections
Summerset City Inspector will inspect footings, foundations, framing or finished structures. Plumbing and electrical inspections are done by the State of South Dakota.
• Hermanson Egge Eng. Inc.: 605-719-3016 (48 hours prior to the required inspections)
• SD State Plumbing Inspector: 605-773-3429 (indoor plumbing inspections)
• SD State Electrical Inspector: 605-773-3573 (indoor electrical inspections)
Any additional inspections will be billed to the permit holder & must be paid to the City before a certificate to occupy will be issued.
Issuance of Permits
Generally, the City strives to have a reasonable turn-around period for permits issued for new houses, additions, garages and accessory structures. Permits issued for commercial projects may take up to three weeks as they require plan review by the City Engineer and City Inspector.
Expiration of Permits
Every permit issued shall become invalid unless the work on the site authorized by such permit is commenced within 180 days after its issuance, or if the work authorized on the site by such permit is suspended or abandoned for a period of 180 days after the time the work is commenced. The code official is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more extensions of time, for periods not more than 180 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated. The requirement that all work authorized by a building permit be commenced within 180 days does not operate to change timelines established in any notice and/or order.
Submittal Requirements
Applicant must attach a plot plan to the Building Permit Application to include:
1. Measurements of setbacks from the property line
2. Locations of property pins and label front lot
3. Label foundation type and location
4. Location and type of easements
5. Location of water, sewer, electrical and phone lines
Erosion Control Requirements
The City of Summerset has adopted Rapid City’s Storm Water Quality Manual. All building permits will require Erosion Control Plans for each new construction lot. Erosion control must be in place prior to the footing inspection. On the following page, you will find examples of typical sketches for your Erosion Control Plan. Please note this information is required on your plot plan as per the legend and sketch examples. Contact the City office at 605-718-9858 if you have any questions. Work begun before the required permit has been obtained will be subject to penalties.
