Free Smoke Detector Program City of Morgantown Code Enforcement Office, again this year, is giving away smoke detectors. Thanks to Lowes at the Morgantown Mall for their generous donation of smoke detectors, we will be able to continue this very important program for another year. To qualify you must live within the corporate City limits, own your own home, and not be able to afford a smoke detector. If you cannot install the free smoke detector yourself, or do not have someone that can install the smoke detector, the Code Enforcement Office will have a Code Enforcement Officer install one. You may pick up the smoke detector at City Hall (389 spruce Street) or call 304-284-7401. Building Permits What is the purpose of a Building Permit? The purpose of a building permit is to provide minimum construction standards established by the West Virginia State Building Code. These minimum construction standards provide safeguards for life, health, property and welfare by regulating design, construction, materials, use and the type of occupancy of all buildings. A building permit must be obtained any time a building or structure is erected, enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, converted, or demolished.
