Fees are based on the construction cost. This cost is based
on the figures obtained from the quarterly magazine received from
the Building Safety Journal issued by International Code Council (ICC).
|
The fee for issuance of a building permit for all new buildings
and additions shall be set by the following formula; (cost per square
foot) times (square footage) times (fee multiplier of 0.004). When
two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) in construction costs
is reached, the fee multiplier for all additional costs will drop
to (0.002). The fee for issuance of all remodeling permit shall be
set by the following formulas. For residential (cost per square foot)
times (square footage) times (0.002). For commercial (cost per square
foot) times (square footage) times (0.001). Cost per square foot will
be taken from the current Building Safety Journal issued by International
Code Council (ICC).
|
The fee for the issuance of all other residential building permits
which are not based on square footage is based on calculated construction
costs, at the following rate: ten dollars and fifty cents ($10.50)
for the first five hundred dollars ($500.00) of cost, or any part
thereof, one dollar and ten cents ($1.10) for each additional five
hundred dollars ($500.00)) of cost, or any part thereof up to a total
of one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00) and sixty cents
($0.60) for each one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for fraction thereof
over one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00) with a minimum
fee of thirty dollars ($30.00).
|
The fee for the issuance of all other commercial and industrial
permits which are not based on square footage is based on calculated
construction costs, at the following rate: eleven dollars ($11.00)
for the first five hundred dollars ($500.00) of cost, or any part
thereof, plus two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50) for each additional
five hundred dollars ($500.00)) of cost, or any part thereof up to
two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00) then one dollar and fifty
cents ($1.50) per one thousand ($1,000.00) or part thereof up to eight
hundred thousand dollars ($800,000.00), then one dollar and eighty
cents ($1.80) per one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) of cost or any
part thereof with a minimum fee of fifty dollars ($50.00).

acting under a reasonable belief that a need exists to call the Fire

be made such adjustments and repairs to the alarm system as the Building
Official shall order. An order by the Building Official shall be completed
within twenty-four (24) hours after such order has been given.

period shall be subject to the same documentation requirement as a
new fire alarm system. Central station service in full compliance
with NFPA 72 Chapter 26 shall be maintained at the protected property,
