046-18 - Resolution - Exhbit A, REVISED1 Exhibit A to Resolution 046-18 A. General 1. No permit shall be issued, application accepted, service provided, or appeal filed without payment of the applicable fee set forth below. 2. References to the director refer to the director of the Department of Community Development or his/her designee. 3. When an application includes the submittal of special reports and/or plans such as habitat management plans, geotechnical reports, or traffic impact analyses requiring review beyond the capabilities of city staff, the applicant shall be required to pay the actual cost of 3rd party review by qualified consultants under contract with the city. Upon determining that 3rd party review of special reports or plans is required, the city will obtain a fee estimate from its consultant and provide that estimate to the applicant and request payment to the city. 4. Some projects require more than one permit. In some cases a project will require the payment of numerous fees from the tables below. 5. Each building, plumbing, mechanical, planning and land use, and public works permit/department review fee shall be assessed a technology fee surcharge of $10.00 to cover the cost of the purchase and ongoing maintenance of the City’s SMARTGov permitting system which was put into use in November of 2014. No technology fee refund shall be issued once the permit/review has been entered into the system. 6. No inspections, including final inspections, will be scheduled or performed until all outstanding fees are paid. 7. Refunds: The hourly rate used to calculate a deduction to a refund shall be $75 per hour. a. Building Permit fees: Refunds shall be issued at an amount equal to the permit fee less actual time and materials spent on the project; provided no refund shall exceed 80% of the initial permit fee for a permit that was issued by the City. If the permit fee was paid and a refund was requested prior to permit issuance, 100% of the permit fee may be refunded. b. Plan Review Fees: If an application is withdrawn, cancelled or returned prior to issuing a building permit, a refund shall be issued to an amount equal to the plan review fee less actual time and materials spent on the project, provided no refund shall exceed 80% of the plan review fee. Plan review fees are non-refundable once the plan review has been completed or if the permit has been issued. c. Other Permit/Application fees: Refunds for Land Use permits and other permit application types may be authorized by the director. Refunds shall be issued at an amount equal to the permit fee less actual time and materials spent on the project; provided no refund shall exceed 80% of the initial permit fee. 8. All recording fees for approvals issued by the city shall be paid by the applicant. B. Building, Plumbing, and Mechanical Fee Policies 1. Failure to pay established fees may result in one or more of the following: • Per Section 109.4 of the IBC, any person who commences any work on a building, structure, electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system before obtaining the necessary permits shall be subject to an additional fee equal to the required permit cost in addition to the underlying permit costs. 2 • No temporary or final certificate of occupancy will be approved or issued for a project with any outstanding fees on any permit associated with the project. 2. Some signs require a building permit in addition to a land use (sign) permit. In these instances, the permit fees are additive meaning that an applicant may be required to obtain a sign permit and a building permit. 3. Minor revisions to plans which were previously reviewed and approved by the city shall be reviewed at a cost of $75 per hour with a minimum of 1 hour billed. 4. Valuation for Table 1 shall be determined using the IBC Building Valuation Data Table (BVD) (currently the August 2016 table as attached hereto) except as noted in the BVD Table and when otherwise noted in Tables 2 and 3. 5. Per 2015 IBC 109.3, the applicant for a permit shall provide an estimated construction value at the time of application. The amount shall be rounded up to the next whole dollar. The amount shall include the fair market value of any donated, contributed or found labor and/or materials. Construction value calculated on 100 square feet shall be rounded up to the next 100 square feet for any portion thereof. 6. Single family home builders who wish to reuse a plan set to construct more than one home using the same plan set may do so by utilizing a “basic plan” review process. When an applicant wishes to establish a basic plan set for reuse, the plans shall initially be reviewed upon payment of the city’s standard plan review fee. Once plan review is complete and if the City finds that the plans conform to the requirements of the Building Code, the plans shall be approved as a basic plan set and marked as such for reuse. For each use of the plan, the applicant shall pay a reduced plan review fee as established in Table 3 in lieu of the full plan review fee. The use of an approved basic plan set shall have no effect on the building permit fee (only the building permit plan review fee). Plans may not be reused if the city’s building code has been updated unless the plans have been re-reviewed (upon payment of the full plan review fee) and approved for conformance with the updated building code.

Because the scope of alterations or repairs to an existing building varies so greatly, the Square Foot Construction Costs table does not reflect accurate values for that purpose. However, the Square Foot Construction Costs table can be used to determine the cost of an addition that is basically a stand-alone building which happens to be attached to an existing building. In the case of such additions, the only alterations to the existing building would involve the attachment of the addition to the existing building and the openings between the addition and the existing building. • The Square Foot Construction Cost does not include the price of the land on which the building is built. The Square Foot Construction Cost takes into account everything from foundation work to the roof structure and coverings but does not include the price of the land. The cost of the land does not affect the cost of related code enforcement activities and is not included in the Square Foot Construction Cost.
