The city may, but is not required to, mail to persons forms for applications for permits; but failure of any person to receive any such forms shall not excuse the person from making application for and securing the permit required and payment of the permit fee when and as due hereunder. If any person fails, neglects or refuses to file his or her application and to pay any fee as and when required herein, the city will determine the amount of fee payable and to notify such person by mail of the amount so determined. The amount so fixed shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, subject to the person's right to appear before the council and show cause why his or her fee should not be altered or reduced. (Ord. 784, 5-12-2015)
