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.

3.   Any application or form required by the Department of Health to install such regulated equipment is submitted with the permit application;

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.
