The form provided by the Zoning Administrator shall contain the following legend, to be initialed as applicable in each case by the applicant:

$50,000.00 and up | $1.00 per thousand with a $200.00 maximum1 |
Note:
1. Plus tap fees.
Example: A building permit for a house with an estimated cost of one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00) would require a one hundred fifty dollar ($150.00) permit fee plus tap fees.
A building permit for a house with an estimated cost of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) would require a two hundred dollar ($200.00) permit fee plus tap fees.
2. Business, Commercial, And Industrial: The building permit applicant will pay a building permit fee that is equivalent to the schedule of fees below or seventy five percent (75%) of the construction plan review, whichever is greater. The applicant will initially pay the fee as indicated in the schedule for fees below. If seventy five percent (75%) of the cost of the construction plan review is greater than the initial permit fee, the applicant will be billed and will not get the building permit until it is paid. The fee for each permit or re-inspection shall be paid when the application is filed in the case of a permit fee, or upon receipt of a statement in the case of a re-inspection fee. The declaration of estimated construction cost shall be made by the permit applicant. If the department determines that the estimated construction cost is unreasonable, the department may request the permit applicant to show proof of the actual construction cost, and may adjust the fees to reflect the actual construction cost. The value to be used in computing the building permit fees shall be the total value of all construction work including materials and labor for which the permit is issued and shall also include all finish work, painting, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, elevators, fire extinguishing systems and any other permanent equipment.

Upon receipt of a building permit application, the Zoning Administrator shall refer the application to the various Village utility departments and/or JULIE (joint utility locating information for excavating) to determine whether the proposed structure would interfere with any installed utility or any easement. No permit shall be issued if such interference is present unless consented to in writing by the affected public utility or where a Village owned utility is involved, by the Village.
E. Within ten (10) days of receipt of a building permit application accompanied by the appropriate fee, the Zoning Administrator shall issue the permit or deny the permit. In the event the permit is denied, the Zoning Administrator shall state the reasons therefore, in writing, and shall refer to the appropriate provisions of this title.

The holder of a building permit shall initiate construction of the work described in the building permit within thirty (30) days of the date of issuance of the building permit and shall finish construction of the work within one year of issuance of the building permit.
