(A) A floodplain determination fee shall be assessed on all proposed development. This shall be a flat fee approved by the city.
(B) Proposed development determined to be occurring in a special flood hazard area regulated by this chapter shall be assessed an additional fee, payable to the city based upon a set schedule approved by the city using the estimated value of the proposed construction as determined by the Floodplain Administrator.
(C) In addition, the applicant shall be responsible for reimbursing the city for any additional costs for services necessary for review and/or inspection of proposed development. Services include, but are not limited to, professional engineering and surveying. The Floodplain Administrator may require a deposit towards these additional costs. Additional costs may include reimbursement for contracted services.
(D) Due to the increased cost of processing, when any work for which a permit is required by this chapter is started or proceeded with prior to obtaining a permit the fees above specified shall be doubled. The additional fee is intended to partially reimburse the county for the additional cost of processing permits for work already underway. To more fully recover this cost the fees above shall be tripled for every subsequent occurrence by the same person. Payment of the increased fee shall not relieve any person from complying fully with the requirements of this chapter in the execution of the work or from other penalties prescribed herein.
