6.140.020 Fees payable.
(1) A fee for each building permit review shall be paid to the building official as set forth in this chapter; provided, that payment of that portion of the fee attributable to valuation of an automatic fire-extinguishing system shall be deferred until submittal of plans and issuance of a separate permit for such system.
(2) The determination of value for valuation under any of the provisions of this code shall be made by the building official. The valuation to be used in computing the permit and plan check 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 conditions, elevators, fire extinguishing systems and any other permanent work or permanent equipment.
(3) When work for which a permit is required by this code is started or proceeded with prior to obtaining said permit, the fees specified in this section shall be doubled, but the payment of such double fee shall not relieve any persons from fully complying with the requirements of this code in the execution of the work nor from any other penalties prescribed therein.
