§ 33.58 COMPUTATION OF FEES ACCORDING TO FEE SCHEDULE.
   (A)   The County Commissioners are authorized to establish by resolution a fee schedule for the administration of this subchapter. Fees established hereunder may be changed whenever the County Commissioners deem it necessary to do so. Before adopting a resolution under this division (A), the County Commissioners shall hold a public hearing and shall provide notice of the hearing.
   (B)   Each person who applies for a building permit to create a new residential living unit on or after the notice of public hearing is first advertised shall have the option to pay either a development impact fee based on the fee schedule established by the County Commissioners or a development fee calculated based on § 33.59, without reference to, or benefit of, the schedule established by the County Commissioners.
   (C)   A person shall be entitled to a credit against the fees imposed herein if a jurisdiction within the county imposes fees to offset the costs of development from a person subject to this subchapter for exactly the same development; and the fees imposed by that jurisdiction are designed or intended to offset the same development impact; provided, however, that credits will be granted only to the extent the person actually pays impact fees to the other jurisdiction. All payments made by the county to the other jurisdiction shall likewise be reduced by the amount credited to the extent payments from the county to that jurisdiction were based on the fees collected.
   (D)   A person who petitions for credit must provide to the Budget Officer a certification that the fee imposed by the jurisdiction is for the same purpose as the county fee and proof of payment of the fee from the jurisdiction.
