Building permit fees for construction permits shall be issued in accordance with this Chapter. A formula is provided by the International Code Council Building Valuation Data (Square Foot Construction Costs chart). The Building Department shall use Table 500 found at Attachment 1 to this Section for calculating construction value of project.

Description	Project Valuation	Building Permit Fee
Residential small job	$1,000.00 or less	$35.00
Residential	$1,001.00 to $5,000.00	$50.00
Commercial	$0.00 to $5,000.00	$50.00
Commercial and residential	Over $5,001.00	$50.00 (base first $5,000.00), plus $4.50 per each additional $1,000.00 of valuation

Example: Construction value is $10,000.00

$10,000.00 - $5,000.00 (base) = $5,000.00

$5,000.00 (additional valuation)/$1,000.00 = 5

5 x $4.50 = $22.50

$22.50 + $50.00 = $72.50 (building permit fees)

Plan review fees shall be paid at the time plans are submitted for review. A formula is provided by the International Code Council Building Valuation Data (Square Foot Construction Costs chart). The Building Department shall use Table 500 found at Attachment 1 to this Section for calculating construction value of project for plan review fees.

Project Valuations	Plan Review Fees
Less than $30,000.00 or new single-family dwelling	$40.00
Over $30,000.00	$1.50 per $1,000.00

No building or structure shall be constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, or moved until a permit has been issued by the Building Department. A permit is also required to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system, the installation of which is covered by the International Codes. Except upon a recommendation of the Planning Commission, no building permit shall be issued for any building where said construction, addition or alteration or use thereof would be in violation of any of the provisions of this Zoning Code.

No building permit shall be issued until after such time that there are adequately sized public water lines and public sewer lines with any necessary pumps or lift stations in place so that the proposed structure can make a direct connection to the public system without requiring an easement across any other property. Hollister must receive a copy of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources permits for construction of new infrastructure. There must be adequate capacity in the infrastructure, new or existing, and Hollister must approve the connections. After the adoption of a major street plan, no building permit shall be issued for and no building shall be erected on any lot within the territorial jurisdiction of the Planning Commission unless the street giving access to the lot upon which the building is proposed to be placed conforms to the requirements of Chapter 405.

The application fee to go before the Building Board of Appeals is fifty dollars ($50.00).

Refunds. Not more than eighty percent (80%) of the building permit fee paid for a permit to be issued shall be refunded when no work has been done under the permit issued.

After paying cash bonds in the form of cash, cashier's or certified check, temporary certificates of occupancy may be issued for buildings in which there is compliance with all Building Code requirements but the outside property may have incomplete items such as paved driveways and parking or unfinished landscaping. These cash bonds are to insure and guarantee that the minimum landscaping is done to prevent erosion, etc. and to insure driveways and parking areas are paved. A landscaping bond shall be one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) and a driveway/parking bond shall be fifty dollars ($50.00) per square yard.

The bond posted will not be refunded if the work is not done within the ninety (90) day period. If weather is a factor, an additional thirty (30) days may be granted. If work is not completed within this time, the City may make arrangements for the necessary work to be done and deduct the cost of same from the deposit and order the balance, if any, paid to applicant. The new owner can contract the work done and the City can pay the bond amount, but only up to that amount, to them.

All certificates of occupancy shall be applied for coincidentally with the application for a building permit. The certificate should be issued within ten (10) days after the erection or alteration should have been approved as complying with the provisions of this Code.
