Building codes are not that lose Kathy.
Here's an example for factory-built-homes.
(a) “Factory-built housing” means any structure or portion thereof designed primarily for
residential occupancy by human beings, which is either entirely prefabricated or assembled at a place
other than the building site.
(b) “First user” means a person, firm or corporation who initially installs FBH within this State. A
person who subsequently purchases an installed FBH is not a first user within the meaning of this
definition.
© “Installation” means the assembly of FBH on site and the process of affixing FBH to land, a
foundation or an existing building.
(d) “Insignia of approval” means a tag, tab, stamp, label or other device issued by the building
official to indicate compliance with the statutes and these rules.
(e) “Manufacture” means the process of making, fabricating, constructing, forming or assembling
a product from raw, unfinished or semi-finished materials to produce FBH.
(f) “Site” is the parcel of land on which FBH is installed.
Section 6103. Building Permit Required. No person shall install FBH or cause the foregoing to be
done without first obtaining a building permit from the building official for each FBH.
The county has not addressed private tents on private land simply because they are outside the limitation of powers for the county. Case in point, you wont see such address regarding a motor home or camper used as a residence on private property either. These manufatured products are already in compliance with federal and state laws.
Foundations and or public safety issues are the key to structures that fall under county codes in the light of improvements.
Pup tents are "erected"... but the "erected" citation pertains to what? Read on. It's easy to pull a phrase out of the code and apply to what ever you like... but then it is not in the context of application; is it?
President John Adams once said - "Property is surely a right of mankind as real as liberty." Adding, "The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence."
When we assume that we can make laws that "TEMPORARILY ALLOW" private property owners to camp on their own property, we have adopted a course of tyranny.
