§ 150.12 EFFECT OF ADOPTION OF FLORIDA BUILDING CODE ON EXISTING CONSTRUCTION.

   All homes for which building permits were pending at City Hall on January 16, 1978, shall be permitted in accordance with the building code and fee schedule as it existed prior to January 16, 1978. Between January 16, 1978, and February 1, 1978, no builder, developer, or contractor shall be permitted for more homes than he has been permitted for in a pro-rata time period for the next immediate proceeding twelve-month period of time prior to February 1, 1978. For the purpose of this computation, the builder, developer, or contractor shall be authorized additional permits for any homes that he certifies to as having been validly contracted for sale to a bona-fide third party purchaser prior to January 16, 1978.

   (A)   Building permit fees shall be paid whenever a building permit is required under provisions of the building code of the city, in accordance with the schedule of fees.

The payment of the double permit fee shall be made before any further permits shall be issued to the person owing the double permit fee. The payment of the double permit fee shall not relieve any person from fully complying with the other requirements specified by ordinance nor from any other penalties prescribed therein.

   (B)   The fees schedules for building permit structural fees, electrical permits, gas permits, mechanical and air conditioning permits, plumbing, site improvements, and miscellaneous fees are incorporated herein by reference and available in the City Clerk's office.
