Any fee that is based upon an estimate of cost shall be recalculated, at the option of the Village, at the time of the issuance of a building permit. In the event that the revised estimate exceeds the original estimate, the applicant shall pay the additional funds required prior to the issuance of the building permit, certificate of completion, or certificate of occupancy. In determining the actual cost of construction, the Building Inspector may base such determination upon his or her own experience, judgment, and available data, and shall not be bound to the cost of construction stated by the applicant.

Upon application to the Board of Trustees, such doubling of the fee may be reduced by the Board of Trustees upon a showing that such work was so minor that the doubling of the fees would be so substantially out of proportion to the additional work to the department that it would amount to an unwarranted penalty, or that the performance of such Work prior to the issuance of the requisite permit was reasonably necessary to save life or property, or for any other reason.
