§ 151.044  PERMIT FEES.
   (A)   Each applicant shall pay for each permit at the time of issuance a fee as established from time to time by resolution of the City Commission.
   (B)   Any person who shall commence any work for which a permit is required by this code without first having obtained a permit therefor shall, if subsequently permitted to obtain a permit, pay double the permit fee for such work; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to emergency work when it shall be proved to the satisfaction of the Administrative Authority that such work was urgently necessary and that it was not practical to obtain a permit therefor before the commencement of the work. In all such cases, a permit must be obtained as soon as it is practical to do so, and if there be an unreasonable delay in obtaining such permit, a double fee as herein provided shall be charged.
   (C)   For the purpose of this section, a sanitary plumbing outlet on or to which a plumbing fixture or appliance may be set or attached shall be construed to be a FIXTURE. Fees for reconnection and retest of plumbing system in relocated buildings shall be based on the number of plumbing fixtures, gas systems, water heaters and the like, involved.
   (D)   When interceptor traps or mobile home site traps are installed at the same time as a building sewer on any lot, no sewer permit shall be required for the connection of any such trap to an appropriate inlet fitting provided in the building sewer by the permittee constructing such sewer.
   (E)   When a permit has been obtained to connect an existing building or existing work to the public sewer or to connect to a new private disposal facility, backfilling of private sewage disposal facilities abandoned consequent to such connection is included in the permit.
