MCC §18.28.030
Building permits before subdivision improvements are done
Read the official text at library.municode.com ↗This rule says when the county can let you build in a subdivision before the required major improvements (like roads or utilities) are finished. It only allows this for model homes, buildings the subdivider will sell with the lot, or if the building won't be done before improvements and those improvements are bonded.
