Fees for permits and services rendered pursuant to these building
and construction regulations shall be paid to the building official
as set forth in schedules established by resolution of the city council.
The determination of value or valuation under any of the provisions
of these codes shall be made by the building official. The value to
be used in computing the fees shall be the total value of all construction
work for which the permit is issued, as well as all finish work, painting,
roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators,
fire extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment.
(Ord. 95-14 § 1)
A.
When submittal documents are required by Section 302.2 of the Uniform Administrative Code as adopted in Section 15.04.060 of this Municipal Code, a plan review fee shall be paid at the time of submitting the submittal documents for plan review. Said plan review fee shall be seventy-five percent of the building permit fee as established by resolution of the city council pursuant to Section 15.02.010.
B.
The plan review fees specified in this section are separate fees from the permit fees specified in Section 15.02.010 and are in addition to the permit fees.
C.
When
submittal documents are incomplete or changed so as to require additional
plan review or when the project involves deferred submittal items
as defined in Section 302.4.2 of the Uniform Administrative Code,
an additional plan review fee shall be charged at the rate established
by resolution of the city council.
(Ord. 95-14 § 1)
Applications for which no permit is issued within one hundred
eighty days following the date of application shall expire by limitation,
and plans and other data submitted for review may thereafter be returned
to the applicant or destroyed by the building official. The building
official may extend the time for action by application of the applicant
for a period not exceeding one hundred eighty days on written request
by the applicant showing that circumstances beyond the control of
the applicant have prevented action from being taken. An application
shall not be extended more than once. An application shall not be
extended if this code or any other pertinent laws or ordinances have
been amended subsequent to the date of application. In order to renew
action on an application after expiration, the applicant shall resubmit
plans and pay a new plan review fee.
(Ord. 95-14 § 1)
Any person, firm or corporation who shall proceed with or commence
work for which a permit is required by these building and construction
regulations without first having obtained such permit shall, if subsequently
permitted to obtain a permit therefor, pay double the fee fixed for
such work. The original permit fee shall be for issuance of the permit
and the balance shall be a civil penalty. This provision shall not
apply to emergency work when it shall be proved to the satisfaction
of the building official that such work was urgently necessary and
that it was not practical to obtain a permit before commencement of
the work. In all such cases a permit must be secured as soon as it
is practicable to do so, and if there is an unreasonable delay in
securing the required permit, the civil penalty as provided in this
section shall be charged. In no event shall such civil penalty exceed
the permit fee plus five hundred dollars. The civil penalty provided
in this section shall be in addition to any other fines and remedies
prescribed elsewhere in this code. The payment of such fee and fine
shall not relieve any persons from fully complying with the requirements
of these building and construction regulations in the execution of
the work.
(Ord. 95-14 § 1)
The building official may authorize refunding of a fee paid
hereunder which was erroneously paid or collected. The building official
may authorize refunding of not more than eighty percent of the permit
fee paid when no work has been done under the permit issued in accordance
with this code. The building official may authorize refunding of not
more than eighty percent of the plan review fee paid when an application
for a permit for which a plan review fee has been paid is withdrawn
or canceled before any examination time has been expended. The building
official shall not authorize the refunding of any fee paid except
upon written application filed by the original permittee not later
than one hundred eighty days after the date of fee payment.
(Ord. 95-14 § 1)
It is unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to erect, construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, improve, remove, convert or demolish, equip, use, occupy or maintain any building or structure or cause or permit the same to be done in violation of this title. Violations, violation penalties and remedies are subject to Chapters 1.20, 1.21, 1.24 and 8.12 of this code.
