(a) Building and moving permits shall be as follows:
(1) For a total valuation from $0.00 to $1,000.00 $25.00
For each additional $1,000 or fraction thereof $ 7.00
Building Inspection Fee (to be added to cost of building permit) $25.00
Building Inspection Fee (for inspection requested by person or
firm other than the permit holder) $100.00
(2) Reinspection required in addition to the three regular inspections shall be at the owner or contractor's expense at the rate of $50.00 for each reinspection. Said charge shall be paid prior to reinspection.
(3) In the event a "red tag" is issued for work in progress without a permit, a fee of $350.00 shall be charged in addition to the scheduled permit fee before any additional work may be done. Said fee is reasonably related to the administrative cost required thereto and is established pursuant to the Home Rule Authority of the Town.
(4) For purposes of determining the amount of the Building Permit Fee, the Total Valuation shall be established by multiplying the number of square feet of the ground floor living area by $100.00 per square foot, exclusive of garages, breezeways, and open porches. The second level, whether it be the lower area of a tri-level structure, lower level of a bi-level or split level, or second floor of a two-story shall be computed at $60 per square foot. In addition, open porches, garages, and breezeways shall be computed at the rate of $20 per square foot.
For example, the Total Valuation of a tri-level with 1,500 square feet on the main floor, 750 square feet on the lower level, 600 square feet in the garage, and a breezeway consisting of 200 square feet would be computed as follows:
1,500 sq. ft. x $100.00 $150,000.00
750 sq. ft. x $60.00 $45,000.00
600 sq. ft. x $20.00 $12,000.00
200 sq. ft. x $20.00 $4.000.00
