(A) Basic fee. Basic fees for land use and zoning permits and inspections shall be adopted by resolution of the Council and may be amended from time to time in the same manner; provided, that a schedule of such fees, together with the effective date or dates thereof, shall be kept on file in the office of the Building Inspector, available for distribution upon request therefor, and uniformly enforced as the same become effective. If such fees are based upon a determination of value or size of the project, a determination thereof shall be made by the Building Inspector. Such fee schedule may provide for a separate building or electrical permit and inspection fee where the work to be done is so confined.
(B) Start without permit. Where work for which a permit is required is started or pursued prior to issuance of a permit, the fees shall be doubled, or the fee will be set by the Council by a resolution for the appropriate permit. But the payment of such increased fee shall not relieve any persons from fully complying with the requirements of the law in the execution of the work, nor from any penalties prescribed therein.
