108/R108 Fees

108.1/R108.1 Payment of Fees. A permit shall not be valid until the fees prescribed by law have been paid. Nor shall an amendment to a permit be released until the additional fee, if any, has been paid.

108.2/R108.2 Schedule of Permit Fees. The fee for any permit shall be as set forth in the building permit fee schedule as established by resolution of the Board of Supervisors. The determination of valuation under any of the provisions of the Code shall be made by the Building Official. The value to be used in computing the building permit and building plan review fees shall be the total value of all construction work, for which the permit is issued, as well as all finish work, painting, roofing, site grading, paving, landscaping, elevators, and other permanent equipment. The value to be used in computing the value of construction for reports shall be the total value of all construction work for which the permit is issued, as well as all finish work, painting, roofing, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, site grading, paving, landscaping, elevators, fire extinguisher systems and other permanent equipment.

When a plan or other data are required to be submitted by Section 106 and the value of the proposed building or work exceeds $15,000, a plan review fee shall be paid before the permit may be issued. Should the project be abandoned and the permit not issued after the plan review has been started, the plan review fee shall still be due and payable. The plan review fee shall be as set forth by resolution of Board of Supervisors. Plan review fees are separate fees from the permit fee specified in Section 108.2 and are in addition to permit fees.

108.4/R108.4 Work Commencing before Permit Issuance. Any person who commences work on a building, structure, electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system before obtaining the necessary permits shall be subject to a fee equal to the amount of the permit if a permit were issued. This fee shall be collected whether or not a permit is issued. The payment of such fee shall not exempt any person from compliance with all other provisions of this code or from any penalty prescribed by law. Only the Building Official may reduce this fee when it is demonstrated that an emergency existed that required the work to be done without a permit.

108.5/R108.5 Re-inspection Fees. A re-inspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or re-inspection when such work or portion of such work for which the inspection is called for is not complete or when corrections called for are not made. Re-inspection fees may be assessed when the inspection card is not posted or otherwise available on the work site, the approved plans are not readily available to the inspector, access is not provided on the date for which the inspection is requested, or when there is a deviation from plans requiring approval of the building official. This section is not to be interpreted as requiring re-inspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with requirements of this code, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspections before the job is ready for said inspection or re-inspection.

108.6/R108.6 Refunds. The Building Official may authorize refunding of any fee paid, minus an hourly charge for work done on the permit. Application for a refund must be submitted not later than 180 days after the date of fee payment. The Building Official may authorize a refund of any fee paid or collected erroneously.
