A. If a building permit or permit for manufactured home installation expires without commencement of construction, then the feepayer shall be entitled to a refund, without interest, of the fee paid plus a condition of its issuance; except, that the city and district shall retain three percent of the fee, to be shared equally, to offset a portion of the costs of collection and refund. The feepayer must submit an application for such refund to the city engineer within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the permit. Within ten working days of receipt of an application for refund the city engineer shall notify the district in writing of such refund request and the status of the building permit. The district shall issue a refund within twenty (20) working days or issue written findings as to why the refund shall not be made.
B. Any funds not expended or encumbered by the end of the calendar quarter immediately following five years from the date the fee was paid shall, upon application of the then current landowner, be returned to such landowner with any interest incurred thereon; provided, that the landowner submits an application for a refund to the city engineer within one hundred eighty (180) days of the expiration of the six-year period. Within ten working days of receipt of an application for refund the city engineer shall notify the district in writing of such refund request. The district shall issue a refund within twenty (20) working days or issue written findings as to why the refund shall not be made. (Ord. 2017-01 (part), 2017)
