§ 50.010 COLLECTION OF CHARGE.

   (A)   The system development charge is payable upon annexation or issuance of a building permit, a development permit, a development permit for development not requiring the issuance of a building permit, a permit or approval to connect to the water or sewer system or a right-of-way access permit.

   (B)   If no building, development or connection permit is required, the system development charge is payable at the time the usage of the capital improvement is increased based on changes in the use of the property.

   (C)   The applicant for a connection permit shall be required to state in writing the intended use of the building in sufficient detail to enable the city to determine the appropriate category of use. If the use of a building changes or if the stated use is incorrect, the occupant shall report the change of use to the city within 30 days and promptly pay any additional system development charges. If the occupant fails to report a correct statement of use or a change of use within 30 days or fails to pay the additional system development charge within ten days after invoice, the occupant shall pay a penalty of 10% of the balance due plus interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of 1.5% per month.

   (D)   The city shall not issue the permit or allow connection until the charge has been paid in full, provision for installment payments has been made pursuant to § 50.012, or unless an exemption is granted pursuant to § 50.013.
