Bellevue — Ch. 8 Buildings, Housing, and Construction § 8-55
Plat
Operative Text
Applications for permits shall be accompanied by a plat in duplicate, or duplicate prints thereof, drawn to scale, showing the actual dimensions of the lot to be built upon, the size, shape and location of the building to be erected, the size, shape and location of any existing buildings, lot areas to be used, auto parking areas, and water supply and sewage disposal facilities and such other information as may be necessary to provide for the enforcement of this article, together with copies of drawings or sketches of the proposed building, as may be required by the village, including true and correct copies of permits of the county health department of approving the water supply and sewage disposal facilities.
Bellevue Ch. 8 § 8-55 requires that any permit application include a scaled plat — submitted in duplicate — that shows the lot's dimensions, the size and placement of both proposed and existing buildings, parking areas, and water and sewage facilities, along with any drawings the village requests and county health department approvals for water and sewage systems. The rule ensures that officials reviewing a permit have a complete, accurate picture of the property and the planned construction before any work is authorized. It applies to all building permit applications subject to this article.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Bellevue Ch. 8 § 8-55, property owners and managers preparing a permit application generally assemble a scaled plat in duplicate that accurately reflects lot dimensions, the footprint and location of all existing and proposed structures, designated parking areas, and water supply and sewage disposal facilities. Compliant applicants also include any drawings or sketches the village requests and attach valid county health department approvals covering the water and sewage systems. Ensuring all of these materials are complete and accurate before submission helps avoid delays or rejection of the permit application.

Bellevue Ch. 8 § 8-55 establishes documentation standards that a landlord or property owner must meet when seeking a building permit, including submitting accurate plats and county health department approvals for water and sewage facilities. Tenants who have concerns about whether permitted construction on their property complied with these requirements can review permit records through the village's permitting office, which are generally available as public documents. Tenant-rights organizations or a housing attorney can help explain how permit compliance — or the lack of it — may be relevant to a tenant's situation.
