Century Now Issuing Demolition Permits For Tornado Damaged Structures
March 2, 2016
The Town of Century is now issuing demolition permits for structures damaged beyond repair by the February 15 tornado. In the days following the tornado, the town did not issued demolition permits to allow time for the removal of storm related debris from the roads and right of ways.
Escambia County building permits will be available at the Century Town Hall on Thursday, March 3, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. All repair work and demolition within the Town of Century requires the issuance to a Town of Century Land Use Certificate and a building permit from the county.
Permitting fees for tornado repair resulting from the February 15 storm have been waived, upon submission of the required permit application documentation, by the Town of Century and Escambia County Board of County Commissioners.

What about those outside city limits?
Debris pick-up???
>>Seems rather strange that you have to obtain and PAY for a demolition permit.

The reason for the demo permit is Century requires a gas dept locate on gas lines, and sometimes a gas dept employee supervising, so that a demo contractor does not rip gas lines out of the ground in a crowded neighborhood.

It would make more sense if they refunded the fee after demo and passing final inspection.
