The fire department shall charge fees to defray its administrative costs, including, but not limited to, inspections by fire department personnel, in connection with all applications for a permit or clearance, or annual renewal thereof, required under the Uniform Fire Code, the California Health and Safety Code, Title 19 of the California Administrative Code, or the Sacramento City Code. The fees shall be set by resolution of the city council and shall be charged and collected at the time an application for a permit or clearance is made. The application fee shall not be refunded upon failure of an applicant to receive a permit or clearance or upon any revocation or suspension of a permit or clearance. No permit or clearance shall be valid until the required fee has been paid to the city revenue officer. (Prior code § 15.01.111)
