Builder Permit Ordinance
June 22, 2007
An excerpt from the Today Newspaper for June 21, 2007:
The council also unanimously OK’d an ordinance that would require builders to register with the city and provides for penalties if projects are never started or left abandoned.
The ordinance came about after attention was drawn to the number of abandoned properties in Lake Ridge, a neighborhood that has been heavily hit by the problem.
Councilmember Wade Emmert added language to the ordinance that would keep builders from doing business in Cedar Hill if they have problems on file in another city but haven’t built anything in Cedar Hill yet.
“Why should we wait for someone to hurt our residents if they’ve already done it somewhere else before?” Emmert asked when proposing his motion.
