Sec. 4-347. Exemptions to Subtitle

Procedure: The County Council may exempt, upon specific request, from the requirements of this Subtitle, all grading, buildings, or other structures within the corporate limits of any Prince George's County municipality, with planning and zoning authority, whenever the County Council determines, by resolution, that the building regulations and administrative procedures of said municipality and the enforcement thereof are as adequate and equally effective as the County's building and grading regulations, any other applicable regulations and administrative procedures presently or hereafter enacted. Said exempting resolution may include any conditions, restrictions, or requirements deemed necessary by the County Council. An official copy of any building permit approved and issued, with all attachments, shall be forwarded, within three (3) business days immediately following issuance, to the State Supervisor of Assessments within the County and the Building Official.

Compliance with Zoning Ordinance: Where applicable, permits issued shall comply with zoning laws and shall be referred to the Prince George's County Planning Board for review and recommendations respecting zoning requirements.

Referral: Whenever any municipality, delegated authority under the provisions of this exemption, determines that it lacks the necessary expertise to review an application and issue a permit subsequent thereto, said application shall be referred to the County Building Official for appropriate action. If so referred, compliance shall be had with all applicable provisions of this Subtitle including fee requirements. Administration and enforcement shall be pursuant to this Subtitle.
