The county building commissioner shall be appointed by the county mayor, subject to the confirmation of the county legislative body. From and after the establishment of such position and the filling of same, it is unlawful to erect, construct, reconstruct, alter or use any building or other structure within the territory covered by such zoning regulations without obtaining a building permit from such county building commissioner, and such building commissioner shall not issue any permit unless the plans for the proposed erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration or use fully conform to all zoning regulations then in effect.
