If a building permit expires without commencement of construction, then the fee payer shall be entitled to a refund, without interest, of the fees paid as a condition for its issuance. The fee payer shall submit an application for such a refund to the school district that collected the fee in question within ninety (90) calendar days following the expiration of the permit. Failure to timely submit the required application for refund shall constitute an absolute waiver of any right to the refund. (Prior code § 84.05.516)
