13.12A.030 Application and fees.

(1)    Applications for the permit required in this section shall specifically show the exact location of each utility installed on, over or under county property or property that will be dedicated to the county for road rights-of-way. The application shall be accompanied by an application and review fee of two hundred dollars ($200) for each permit. The two hundred dollar ($200) application and review fee will include inspection for the first one hundred eleven (111) feet of underground utility to be installed. An additional inspection fee for additional utility to be installed shall be calculated from the following:

(a)    One dollar and eighty cents ($1.80) for each foot up to and including two thousand (2,000) feet;

(b)    One dollar and zero cents ($1.00) for each additional foot over two thousand (2,000) feet;

(c)    Fifty cents ($0.50) for each additional foot over five thousand (5,000) feet.

In all cases where there is a proposed attachment of a utility to a county bridge or structure, there will be an additional plan review fee, not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000), to be determined by the county engineer based on the complexity of the plan review.

(2)    Fees and inspection cost may be revised upward or downward on a biennial basis in conjunction with the county’s regular budget cycle and/or at the discretion of the board of county commissioners by resolution adopted after thirty (30) days’ public notice published in the official paper of Clark County and written notification to utilities involved.

(3)    In some locations two (2) or more utility companies may wish to use a common trench line for simultaneous installation of underground utilities. In this case each utility company will pay the two hundred dollar ($200) minimum permit fee, and the additional footage fee will be charged as if one (1) utility were being installed.
