The cost-related fees identified in this section are not included in the fees required under this chapter. If a cost incurred by any City department in connection with the issuance of a permit under this chapter has not been calculated into the permit fee required under this chapter, a fee in addition to the permit fee required under this chapter may be assessed, if applicable. Such additional fees include, but are not limited to, the following:
4. Planned development fees required by Title 17 of the Municipal Code.
6. Fees for project-specific approvals and appeals required by Chapter 14A-10.
7. Fees for work of any type on or under the public way, including, but not limited to, driveway permit fees, water and sewer connection fees, and scaffolding, barricading, and street-closure fees.
8. Plan review fees unrelated to the issuance of a permit under this chapter.
9. Inspection fees unrelated to the issuance of a permit under this chapter, such as annual, semi-annual, or periodic inspection fees.
10. Reinspection fees unrelated to the issuance of a permit under this chapter.
11. Reinspection fees related to the issuance of a permit under this chapter, if the reinspection fee is assessed pursuant to Section 14A-5-501.4 or 14A-6-601.1.5.
12. Fees for optional permit services.
A City department may not assess any fee in addition to the permit fees required under this chapter if the fee being assessed by such City department has already been calculated into the permit fee structure provided in this chapter.
If a permit is sought to install regulated equipment, the applicable stand-alone fee provided in Section 14A-4-412.1 must be assessed for each piece of equipment so installed, unless all of the following requirements are met:
1. A permit fee is charged in accordance with Section 14A-4-412.2.
2. The regulated equipment is clearly indicated on the construction documents submitted with the permit application.
3. Any application or form required by the Department of Health to install such regulated equipment is submitted with the permit application;
4. The Department of Health reviews and approves any required drawings or plans for the installation of the regulated equipment to be installed.
Where all of the requirements of this section are met, the permit fee assessed under Section 14A-4-412.1 or 14A-4-412.2 includes the fee that would otherwise apply to install such regulated equipment. If any requirement of this section is not met, a separate permit application must be submitted for installation of the regulated equipment.
Where a complete permit application for installation of a temporary structure is submitted to the building official less than 14 calendar days before the intended installation date, the permit fee is three times the fee provided in Section 14A-4-412.1 or 14A-4-412.2, as applicable.

The building official must add a penalty to the regular permit fee provided in Section 14A-4-412.1 or 14A-4-412.2 for the subsequent permit as specified in Section 14A-12-1204.4.
