D.
Plan review fees. For permits that require construction
drawing/site plan review, 25% of the permit fees assessed will be
required to be paid at the time the application for a building permit
is submitted. The remaining 75% of the permit fees will be collected
prior to issuance of the permit.
Mobile homes fees are as follows:
When possible, the County will accommodate requests
for the additional services, as outlined below. Additional fees are
assessed due to the additional costs, including staff and administrative
time, associated with accommodating these requests.
A.
Off-duty hour inspections. A fee of $45 per hour per
inspection (e.g., construction, plumbing, and/or electrical) will
be assessed when inspections are requested to be performed outside
regular-duty hours set by the County, if the appropriate staff can
be scheduled as requested.
B.
Partial inspections. An inspection fee of $45 per
hour will be assessed for inspections requested at intermittent stages
of construction.
C.
Certificate of occupancy. No building or structure
shall be used or occupied, and no change in the existing occupancy
classification of a building or structure or portion thereof shall
be made, until the building official has issued a certificate of occupancy.
Failure to comply with such order may result in a penalty assessed
to the permittee of three times the amount of the original permit.
D.
Temporary/Conditional certificate of occupancy. At
the County's discretion, a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO)
may be issued at the request of the applicant, to allow occupation
of a building prior to completion of construction or other development
elements where the absence of such elements does not present an immediate
health and safety hazard to the occupants or the community. Due to
the duplication of some of the administrative and inspection requirements
for a TCO and the final certificate of occupancy (CO), an assessment
of 10% of the building permit fee or $100, whichever is greater, will
be imposed when a TCO is issued.
A.
Investigation fee. Whenever any work for which a permit
is required has been commenced without first obtaining a permit, a
special investigation shall be made before a permit may be issued
for such work. The fee shall be $45 per hour with a minimum of one
hour being charged. In addition, the owner will be required to provide
evidence of work being properly completed to date.
B.
Reinspection fee. A reinspection fee of $45 will be
assessed for each inspection or reinspection when such portion of
work for which inspection is called is not complete or when corrections
called for are not made. In instances where reinspection fees have
been assessed, no additional inspection of the work will be performed
until the required fees have been paid.
C.
Penalty fee. Whenever a project has begun without
a permit, and an investigation reveals a permit is required, the permit
fee shall be triple the original fee.

D.
Refund/Credit. No refund/credit will be issued after
30 days from issuance of permit.
