A. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall approve building permits on a “first come first serve” basis until all available permits are issued each year in accordance with Fairfield Code 9.5.00. This assumes that the applicants have satisfied all of the criteria of this and the other applicable Town ordinances including, but not limited to, Zoning and Water Ordinances. Incomplete or erroneous applications will be returned to the applicant and be removed from consideration until returned totally complete.
B. A Building Permit must be obtained (and fees paid) within sixty (60) days of the plan review approval of the building permit application by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
C. Building permit applications will only be accepted on or after the first day of each calendar year for permits allocated in that year.
D. A fifteen hundred dollar ($1500) cashier’s check made out to the Town of Fairfield is required as a deposit at the time of submission of a building permit application package. If the fifteen hundred ($1500) deposit was paid to reserve a building permit allotment for that given year, that deposit can be transferred to the building permit application fee. This total deposit fee will be deducted from the approved building permit cost at the time all the fees are paid for the entire cost of the approved building permit. All fees including Impact fees must be paid in full in order to obtain an approved buildable permit. If for any reason a building permit cannot be obtained after the application deposit was made, the deposit fee will not be returned.
E. Building Permits are issued in order of applications received with paid, non refundable application fee.
