WHAT IS ESTABLISHED AND WHAT IS NOT. Harvey's own Municipal Code carries a Chapter Fifteen, headed "Building Code," Article 1, "General Building Code," with four numbered sections: 15.0101 Adoption of Code, 15.0102 Amendments, Deletions, Additions to Code, 15.0103 Clarification of Code, and 15.0104 Fees By Resolution of City Council. That chapter heading and section list confirm the City has a dedicated building-code chapter of the kind North Dakota law requires for a city that elects to administer one - N.D.C.C. Section 54-21.3-03(6) provides that "the governing body of a city, township, or county that elects to administer and enforce a building code shall adopt and enforce the state building code," and further that "the state building code may be amended by cities, townships, and counties to conform to local needs," with no stated limit on how far that local amendment power may go. WHAT COULD NOT BE ESTABLISHED. The actual text of Section 15.0101, which would name the specific code Harvey adopted (the state building code, an earlier vintage code, or something else) and confirm whether the adoption is floating with the state code or frozen at a named edition, could not be located. The only surviving digitized copy of Chapter Fifteen is a single-page document, recovered through the Wayback Machine from the City's former WordPress site, that contains nothing but the table of contents quoted above - no operative section text at all, confirmed twice, once by direct text extraction and once by re-rendering the page and reading it again. The City's current website carries no ordinance text of any kind; its "Ordinances" page is a search-widget stub with zero linked documents. No other source, including a direct web search for Harvey's building-code adoption, turned up the missing text. Because the adopted edition cannot be confirmed, this record does not classify any field that depends on it - roof layer limits, deck sheathing, drip edge, ice and water shield, impact resistance and wind design are all held rather than guessed. Confirm the adopted code and any local amendment directly with Harvey City Hall before relying on this record for a technical requirement.

Building permits are handled at Harvey City Hall, 120 West 8th Street, Harvey, ND 58341, on 701-324-2000 ([email protected]). The City's own Building Permit Application asks for the applicant/owner's name and address, the contractor's name and licence number, the estimated cost of the project, the zoning district, the exact lot location, a description of the lot (area, yard setbacks, lot coverage), and a description of the proposed structure, including a "Type of Construction" checklist (new, alter existing, enlargement or addition, metal, other) with foundation type, dimensions and roof pitch as data fields. The application requires plans in duplicate, drawn to scale, for any project meeting the $2,500 construction-cost figure described in repair_permit_threshold, plus a sketch of the water and sewer connection, and states that "all new water and sewer installations must be approved of by the City Council prior to construction." The form must be signed by the applicant, is acted on by the City (approved or denied, with an appeal to the Board of Adjustments), and expires one year from the date of issuance, with an extension available from the City Council "in case of extenuating circumstances." A plot plan (scale: one square = 10 feet) is required on the reverse of the application and the form states plainly that the application will not be accepted without it or a full set of plans. The application's own printed reference to a City penalty ordinance ($25 to $100 per offense) does not match the penalty currently codified in the Zoning Ordinance itself (up to $500 or 30 days, Section 6.2504) - the two documents disagree, and this record does not resolve which applies; ask the City Auditor before relying on either figure.
