does the building department there have the right to tear down my building? I havve been getting complants from pat mosbley the local building department for moffat county. I am concerned since I am currently not in the area. the building does not currently fall under the jurisdiction of most of the codes of moffatt county since it isn not connected to the electric grid or other utility.

If the building is a hazard, the county has the responsability to force you to either get it into compliance with the requirements or tear it down. If you don't they can have it torn down and attach the costs to your property taxes. If you don't pay your taxes then you lose the property. You really need to list the complaints and the violations. Is the local building department listing zoning violations or health department issues or ordinances? You can get a lot better answers to your question by being more specific.

This has been going on for years. That building is an eyesore and most likely even dangerous. Contact the Building Dept yourself and get this mess taken care of instead of asking the same stupid questions over and over. We all have to live by “the code”, you are no exception.
