Fee Schedule.

a. Building Permit Fee. A building permit fee shall be paid by each permit applicant. For new construction, this fee covers all trades (building, electric, plumbing, mechanical, etc.), only this one fee for the whole structure. The building permit fee shall be calculated as follows:

Gross area x Cost per sq. ft. x Construction modifier x Permit fee modifier = Permit fee,

Where:

Gross Area is the actual square footage of the structure.

Cost per Square Foot is the average cost of construction per square foot established semi-annually by the Building Official and Code Administrator magazine, a copy of which is kept on file in the building inspection division of the community development department.

Construction Modifier is that figure established by Building Official and Code Administrator magazine which reflects construction type and use of the building.

Permit Fee Modifier is that figure established annually by the building official which reflects the city’s expenses in providing building inspection services. The permit fee modifier is based on the percent recovery of the expenses of the building inspection division established by the city council by resolution from time to time. Separate rates of recovery may be established for industrial, commercial, multifamily and single-family structures.

b. Penalties Shall be Charged. A penalty will be charged when:

1. Construction is begun before a building permit has been obtained. Where construction is begun before a building permit has been obtained, a penalty equal to twice the permit fee, which would otherwise be applicable, will be charged.

2. Stop work order. When a stop work order has been issued, the builder will be charged a penalty for each inspection required as a result of the stop work order. This charge shall apply to each inspection required until the circumstances giving rise to the stop work order have been corrected. The amount of the penalty charged shall be equal to the actual cost to the City of the inspections required, pursuant to a schedule of hourly rates established by the City Annually.

3. Unusually complex construction. Where the proposed construction is of such a complexity that the cost to the city of obtaining the services of outside engineers, architects, or consultants to review construction plans or perform construction inspections exceeds fifty (50) percent of the building permit fee, the city may charge the builder/developer/owner the additional costs required due to the complexity of the construction. The amount of the charge shall be no greater than the actual charges of the outside professional which exceed fifty (50) percent of the building permit fee.

4. Mobile homes. Minimum fee for placement of a mobile home on a designated lot or in a mobile home park shall be thirty-five dollars ($35.00). This will include inspections of electric service, plumbing attachments, tie downs, and skirting.

c. Minimum Permit Fee. The minimum fee for any permit, including demolition, electric, plumbing, mechanical, or any other permit shall be twenty-five dollars ($25.00).

(8) Section 108.6. Amended to read as follows:

Fee refunds. The code official shall authorize the refunding of fees as follows:

a. The full amount of any fee paid hereunder that was erroneously paid or collected.

b. Not more than ninety (90) percent of the permit fee paid when no work has been done under a permit issued in accordance with this code, and the application has been withdrawn or canceled before any plan review effort has been expended.

c. The code official shall not authorize the refunding of any fee paid except upon written application filed by the original applicant, or their agent, not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of fee payment.

(9) Section 110.4. Delete in its entirety, and add new Section 110.4 as follows:

Section 110.4 Temporary occupancy.

Such temporary certificate of use and occupancy shall be issued with a stated expiration date. The holder shall provide the city with a pledge agreement in an amount sufficient to complete the work. If the work is not completed by the stated expiration date, the pledge agreement will be exercised and work completed. Renewals of temporary certificate of use and occupancy shall not be allowed. The fee for issuance of a temporary certificate of use and occupancy shall be fifty (50) percent of the original building permit fee, which shall be refunded if the work is completed prior to expiration of temporary certificate of use and occupancy.
