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 shall retain three (3) percent of the fee to offset a portion of the costs of collection and refund. The feepayer must submit an application for such refund to the city within 30 days of the expiration of the permit. Within twenty (20) working days of receipt of an application for refund the city shall issue a refund or issue written findings as to why the refund shall not be made.
