(A) All permit applications shall be made upon forms provided by the Building Official.
(B) Once a permit application is determined by the Building Official to be complete, the Building Official will inform the applicant of the amount of the permit fee. An application will not be considered to be filed with the Building Official until its completeness is verified and the full amount of the permit fee is paid. A permit fee may be wholly or partially waived in a written development incentive agreement with the city.
(C) The Building Official may require that a plan review fee be paid by a permit applicant at the time an application is submitted. The payment of the plan review fee will not be deemed to constitute the filing of the application, and the application will not be considered to be filed with the Building Official unless and until the application is verified to be complete and the full amount of the permit fee is paid.
(D) Before increasing the scope of work during the construction period relative to the work authorized to be done under the permit, the permit holder shall file an amended permit application and pay additional fees that are assessed based on the increase in scope prior to beginning any work not covered by the original permit.
(E) For construction of new one- and two-family dwellings, the value of $60 per square foot of total area under roof will be used to determine the valuation for the purpose of computing permit fees in accordance with the table above. For all other construction work, including additions, remodeling and alterations, the building permit fee shall be based on the declared valuation of the proposed work. The Building Official may require the applicant to verify the declared value. The fee for each permit shall be as set forth in the table below.
(1) When submittal documents are required, a plan review fee shall be paid at the time of submitting the submittal documents for plan review.
(2) The amount of the plan review fee shall be 65% of the building permit fee as shown in the table below.
(3) The plan review fees specified in this section are separate fees from the permit fees, and are in addition to the permit fees.
