(A) Fees for building permits, plumbing permits, electrical permits, sewer tap, building moving permits, building demolition permits, temporary certificates of occupancy, and final certificates of occupancy and for inspections shall be paid to the Building Inspector and remitted to the City Clerk according to the schedule adopted by the City Council. The determination of value or valuation under any of the provisions of this section shall be made by the Building Inspector. Where work, for which a permit is required by this code, is started or continued prior to obtaining such permit, the fees specified shall be doubled, but the payment of such doubled fees shall not relieve any persons from fully complying with the requirements of this code and the execution of the work or from any other penalties prescribed.
(B) In case of abandonment or discontinuance, the cost of work performed under a permit may be estimated, an adjustment of the fee made and the portion of the fee for uncompleted work returned to the permit holder; provided, no refund of a prescribed minimum fee shall be made until all penalties incurred or imposed by due authority have been collected. After such a refund has been made, no work shall be resumed until a new application has been made and a new permit has been issued.
