(A) Expiration or revocation of building permit. An applicant who has paid an impact fee for a land development for which the necessary building permit has expired or for which the building permit has been revoked prior to construction shall be eligible to apply for a refund of impact fees paid on a form provided by the village for such purposes.
(B) Abandonment of development after initiation of construction. An applicant who has paid an impact fee for a new land development for which a building permit has been issued and pursuant to which construction has been initiated, but which construction is abandoned prior to completion and issuance of a certificate of occupancy, shall not be eligible for a refund unless the uncompleted building is completely demolished.
(C) Administrative fee. A fee of 10% of the amount to be refunded, which shall not exceed $50, shall be deducted from the amount of any refund granted and shall be retained by the village in the appropriate impact fee account to defray the administrative expenses associated with the processing of a refund application.
(D) Time period for filing applications for refund. Applications for refunds under divisions (A) or (B) of this section shall be filed within 60 days following expiration or revocation of the building permit or demolition of the structure. Failure to apply for a refund within 60 days following expiration or revocation of the building permit or demolition of the structure shall constitute a waiver of entitlement to a refund. No interest shall be paid by the village in calculating the amount of the refunds.
