15.32.030 Building permit and plan review fees.
Fees for building permits shall be assessed pursuant to Table 1-A, Chapter 1, Volume 1, of the Uniform Building Code, 1997 Edition, published by the International Conference of Building Officials. Fees for the plan review of required construction documents shall be paid by the applicant. Said plan review fee shall be 65 percent of the building permit fee as shown in Table 1-A, except where fire plan review is also required, in which case the plan review fee, at the discretion of the fire marshal, based upon the amount of time spent in reviewing the documents, shall not exceed 35 percent of the building permit fee as shown in Table 1-A.
Where a permit involves only an addition or remodel of a single-family dwelling or single-family accessory structure, where said work is valued at $7,500 or less, the building official may waive the plan review fee.
Plan review fees specified in this section are separate fees from the permit fees specified herein and are in addition to the permit fees.
When submittal documents are incomplete or changed so as to require additional plan review, or when the project involves deferred submittal items as defined in Section 106.3.4.2 of the International Building Code, an additional plan review fee shall be charged at a rate shown in Table 1-A. (Ord. 2220 § 4 (part), 2007: Ord. 2085 § 8 (part), 2004)
