Investigation Fee: Work without a Permit
Whenever any work for which a permit is required from the city has been commenced without first obtaining
said permit, a special investigation shall be made before a permit may be issued for such work. An
investigation fee, in addition to the permit fee, shall be collected whether or not a permit is then or
subsequently issued. The investigation fee shall be equal to the amount of the permit fee required by this
code. The payment of such investigation fee shall not exempt any person from compliance with all other
provisions of this code nor from any penalty prescribed by law.
Plan Review Fee:
When a building permit is required and a plan is required to be submitted, a plan review fee shall be paid.
Plan review fees for all buildings shall be sixty five percent (65%) of the building permit fee, except as
modified in M.S.B.C. Section 1300.
The plan review fees are separate fees from the permit fees specified 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 an additional plan review fee shall be charged at the above rate.
Expiration of plan review. Applications for which no permit is issued within 180 days following the date of
application shall expire by limitation, and plans and other data submitted for review may thereafter be
returned to the applicant or destroyed by the building official. The building official may extend the time for
action by the applicant for a period not exceeding 180 days on request by the applicant showing that
circumstances beyond the control of the applicant have prevented action from being taken. No application
shall be extended more than once. In order to renew action on an application after expiration, the applicant
shall resubmit plans and pay a new plan review fee.
Refund Fee:
The building official may authorize refunding of any fee paid hereunder which was erroneously paid or
collected.
The building official may authorize refunding of not more than 80 percent of the permit fee paid when no
work has been done under a permit issued in accordance with this code.
The building official may authorize refunding of not more than 80 percent of the plan review fee paid when
an application for a permit for which a plan review fee has paid is withdrawn or cancelled before any plan
review is done.
The building official shall not authorize refunding of any fee paid except on written application filed by the
original permittee not later than 180 days after the date of fee payment.
