Where a dispute arises regarding an engineering opinion furnished by the owner of property involved in any matter relating to this chapter, the village may engage the services of a qualified registered engineer and the owner of the property involved shall reimburse the village for the reasonable customary cost of such services. Where a permit is issued, such engineering expense shall be added to the permit fee. Where no permit is issued, such expense may be collected by civil action at law against the owner or the person causing such expenditures to be made. (Ord. 1989-O-18 § 2)
