3.93.015 Timing for payment of construction plan review and inspection fees.

(1) Base and Additional Plan Review Fees. Base and additional (in the case of five or more lots) plan review fees are to be paid at the time construction plans are submitted for review.

(2) Nonemployee Consultant Plan Review Charges to the City. Nonemployee consultant plan review charges to the city will be billed to the applicant. All charges, including consultant plan review costs, shall be paid within 20 days of invoice by the city or prior to the city’s release of approved construction plans, whichever is sooner.

(3) Inspection Fees. Base and additional (in case of five or more lots) inspection fees are to be paid when the director of community development approves construction plans for construction, and prior to release of the signed construction plans by the city. Nonemployee consultant inspection costs will be calculated using actual billing rate of the staff for the hours of inspection required. A 15 percent administration fee will be added to the cost of personnel and associated fees paid. All after hours inspections must be prescheduled and will be billed out as noted in this section. The owner/engineer will be notified if the fees for the required inspections exceed the base fees paid. The owner is required to pay for any inspections that exceed the base fee. All inspection fees must be paid in full prior to signing of the final plat. (Ord. 1609 § 1 (Exh. A), 2008; Ord. 1534 § 1, 2005; Ord. 1512 § 1, 2005; Ord. 1458 § 1, 2003; Ord. 1140 § 1, 1994.
