(a) The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to charge the applicant upon submission of the application a fee of two hundred dollars ($200.00) which fee shall be deposited in the General Fund of the City and shall be used for the deferment of any costs incurred for the administration, inspection or review of the application and the site development plan and to include any costs incurred by the City Engineer relating to inspection on-site of the construction of the plan. The City shall deduct from this fee any and all coats incurred by the City or its representatives in reviewing the application or the site development plan or in inspecting any construction applicable to the plan. The City shall also cause the applicant to pay any and all costs over two hundred dollars ($200.00) as determined by the Manager, that are incurred by the City or its representatives in reviewing the application or the site development plan or in inspecting any construction applicable to the plan. The City shall refund the unused balance of this fee to the applicant upon the issuance of the site development permit.
(b) Fees as charged pursuant to this chapter are hereby made a lien upon the premises subject to the application for permit. If such fees are not paid within thirty days after the fees become due and payable, the Finance Director, at the direction of the City Manager, may certify the amount due for such fees to the County Auditor. The Auditor shall place same on the tax duplicate with interest at the highest rate allowable by Ohio statutes and cause such amount to be collected as other Municipal taxes are collected. The effective date for such lien shall be upon the date of certification to the County Auditor.
