(B) Plan review fee. When a building permit is required and a plan is required to be submitted, a plan review fee shall be paid. Plan review fees shall be 65% of the permit fee. The fee for similar plans shall be 25% of the normal building permit fee as defined in MSBS, § 1300. The plan review fees specified are separate fees from the permit fees specified and are in addition to the permit fee. Plan review fees will be charged for any plan review even if a permit is not issued. When submittal documents are incomplete or change so as to require additional plan review, or when the project involves deferred submittal items, an additional plan review fee shall be charged at the rate contained herein. Applications for which no permit is issued within 180 days following the date of application shall expire by limitation; plans and other documentation submitted for review may thereafter be returned to the applicant or destroyed by the Building and/or Fire Official. The Building and/or Fire Official may extend the time for action by the applicant for a period of 180 days upon request of the applicant with evidence that circumstances beyond the applicant's control have prevented required action. No application shall be extended more than once. In order to review action on an application after expiration, the applicant shall resubmit plans and pay a new plan review fee.
(C) Renewal fee. Permits renewed within 6 months after a permit has expired shall be charged a permit renewal fee of $55.00. Permits not renewed within 6 months after a permit has expired and work remains incomplete shall be charged as required for a new permit.
(D) Refunds. The Building and/or Fire Official may authorize refunding any fee paid under this schedule that was erroneously paid or collected. The Building and/or Fire Official may authorize refunding not more than 80% of the permit fee paid when no work has been done under an issued permit. The Building and/or Fire Official shall not authorize refunding of the plan review fee when an application for a permit is withdrawn or cancelled after a plan review has been completed. The Building/Fire Official shall not authorize refunding any fee paid except on written application field by the original permittee not later than 180 days after the date of the fee payment.
(E) Investigation fee. Whenever any work for which a city permit is required has commenced without first obtaining a permit, a special investigation shall be made before a permit will be issued. An investigation fee, in addition to the permit fee, shall be collected whether or not a permit is subsequently issued. The investigation fee shall be equal to the amount of the permit fee required by this schedule. The payment for such investigation fee shall not exempt any person from compliance with all other provisions of this code nor from any penalty prescribed by law.
