(A) Basic fee. Basic fees for building permits and inspections shall be adopted by resolution of the Council and may be amended from time to time in the same manner; provided, that a schedule of such fees, together with the effective date or dates thereof, shall be kept on file in the office of the Building Inspector, available for distribution upon request thereof, and uniformly enforced as the same become effective. If such fees are based upon a determination of value or size of the project, a determination thereof shall be made by the city. Such fee schedule may provide for a separate plumbing or electrical permit and inspection fee where the work to be done is so confined.
(B) Start without permit. Where work for which a permit is required is started or pursued prior to issuance of a permit, an investigative fee in the amount of the building fee, not including the state surcharge, will be added to the building cost due at the time the permit is issued. The payment of such increased fee shall not relieve any persons from fully complying with the requirements of the law in the execution of the work, nor from any penalties prescribed herein.
(C) Plan review fees. A plan review fee shall be paid at the time of submitting plans for all industrial, commercial and residential dwellings over 4 units. Such plan review fee shall be determined by resolution of the Council.
(D) Special requirements for moving buildings.
(1) Application. In addition to the other required information to be furnished in the application for a building permit, the applicant shall provide the approximate size and weight of the structure or building proposed to be moved, together with the places from and to which it is proposed to move the same and the route to be followed.
(2) Charges. In addition to other fees payable, the applicant shall pay in advance and prior to issuance of a permit all labor and material costs, including, but not limited to, police, utility changes and repairs.
(3) Bond required. Before any such permit shall be granted, a bond, approved by the City Attorney, in the amount of $10,000 shall be deposited with the Building Inspector conditioned to indemnify the city for damage to any street or other public property. This requirement may be waived if, in the discretion of the City Administrator, there is no substantial risk of damage to city facilities.
(4) Subdivision application. This division applies to a building or other structure proposed to be moved from a point of origin within the city and is to a point of destination within the city, or whether the movement is merely through the city with both a point of origin and destination without the city, provided that a public street, or other public property, are used for such movement.
(5) Move. In no event shall a dwelling or garage be moved into the city limits from another jurisdiction.
