(A) Collection of fees. Applications and petitions filed pursuant to the provisions of this chapter shall be accompanied by the fees specified in the fee schedule, and shall be paid to the Town of Paoli and collected by the PPC.
(B) Annual review of fees assessed. On or before December 31 of each year, the Administrator shall determine if there has been an increase in the Consumer Price Index (United States city average) prepared by the United States Department of Labor, by comparing the arithmetic mean of the Index for July, August, and September of the current year with the same three-month period of the preceding year. If there has been an increase, the increase shall be stated as a percentage of the arithmetic mean for the three-month period of the year preceding the current year (the adjustment percentage). The adjustment percentage shall be rounded to the nearest 0.1% and may not exceed 4%, unless otherwise provided by ordinance. Whenever the Administrator determines that there has been an increase, the Administrator may make a corresponding adjustment to the fee schedule (including late fees) that are assessed under this section, in order to recoup increases in personnel and administrative costs for the PPC. However the adjustment may not be greater than the Adjustment Percentage determined under this division. The adjusted fees as determined by the Administrator under this paragraph take effect on January 1 of the succeeding year.
(C) Calculation of fees. Fees will be calculated when the permit is being reviewed. Required inspections and estimated inspection time will be itemized and incorporated into the fees.
(D) Fines and re-inspection fees. Fines shall be paid before a permit is issued. Re-inspection fees shall be paid before the final inspection and/or the certificate of occupancy is issued (where applicable).
