§ 854. Disclaimers.

(a)

No transfer of responsibility. Approval of development plans by the public development department shall not imply or transfer acceptance of responsibility for the application of the principles of engineering, architecture, landscape architecture or any other profession, from the professional, corporation or individual under whose hand or supervision the development plans were prepared. The completion of inspections and authorization for work continuation shall not transfer responsibility for the quality of the work performed or materials used from the owner, nor imply or transfer acceptance of responsibility for project design or engineering from the professional, corporation or individual under whose hand or supervision the development plans were prepared.

(b)

No waiver of compliance. No development permit issued by the department shall be interpreted to relieve any owner of the responsibility of maintaining full compliance with all applicable codes, ordinances and other regulations. Any development permit issued in error or in contradiction to the provisions of this UDC shall be considered to have been null and void upon its issuance.

(c)

No liability for damage. The approval of plans under the provisions of this article and the issuance of a development permit shall not relieve any person from the responsibility for damage to any person or property otherwise imposed by law, nor shall such plan approval or development permit issuance impose any liability upon the Jackson County Board of Commissioners for damage to any person or property.
