4.36.010 - Building code review and permit fees
A. The determination of value or valuation under any of the provisions of this code shall be made by the building official based on the valuation data established by the International Code Council under the provisions of building standards valuation data. The value to be used in computing the building and building plan review fees shall be the total 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 other permanent equipment. Single-family and duplex dwellings of wood frame construction having an area of more than 2,500 square feet per unit shall be valued at "good construction" rate. All others will be valued at "average construction" rate.
B. Payment of fees. A permit shall not be valid until the fees prescribed by law have been paid, nor shall an amendment to a permit be released until the additional fee, if any, has been paid.
C. Schedule of permit fees. On buildings, structures, gas, mechanical, and plumbing systems or alterations requiring a permit, a fee for each permit shall be paid as required with the following Table 1-A.
D. Plan Review Fees: When submittal documents are required a plan review fee shall be paid at the time of submitting the submittal documents for plan review. Table 1-A shall establish said plan review fee. The actual permit fees and related plan review fee shall be determined upon completion of the plan review and the balance owing shall be paid at the time of permit issuance.
The plan review fee shall be a separate fee from the permit fees specified in this section and are in addition to the permit fees.
When submittal documents are incomplete or changed so as to require additional plan review or when the project involves deferred submittal items, an additional plan review fee shall be charged at the rate shown in Table 1-A.
E. Building permit valuations. The value to be used in computing the building permit and building plan review 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. Contractor’s overhead and profit is also included.
F. Investigation Fees: Work without a Permit.
1. Investigation. Whenever any work for which a permit is required by this code has been commenced without first obtaining said permit, a special investigation shall be made before a permit may be issued for such work.
2. Fee. An investigation fee, in addition to the permit fee, shall be collected whether or not a permit is then or subsequently issued. The investigation fee shall be equal to the amount of the permit fee required by this code. The minimum investigation fee shall be the same as the minimum fee set forth in Table 1-A. This fee is an additional, punitive fee and shall not apply to any Grading or Building Permit Fee that may subsequently be issued. Payment of the investigative fee does not vest the illegal work with any legitimacy, nor does it establish any right to a Permit for continued development of that project. If the work done remains illegal for 90 days after service of the Stop Work Order, it shall be considered hazardous.
3. The payment of such investigation fee shall not exempt any person from compliance with all other provisions of this code nor from any penalty prescribed by law.
G. Fee Refunds.
The building official may authorize the refunding of:
1. 100% of any fee erroneously paid or collected.
2. Up to 80% of the permit fee paid when no work has been done under a permit issued in accordance with this code.
3. Up to 80% 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 plan reviewing is done. The building official shall not authorize refunding of any fee paid except on written application filed by the original permittee not later than 180 days after the date of fee payment.
