All fees for the issuance of a building permit shall be paid in the amount set forth in this article. All fees shall be due and payable before a building permit may be issued. The fees shall be as follows:
Permit fees will be based on valuation. Building permit valuation shall include total value of the work for which a permit is being issued minus the real estate the project rests upon.
Only one building permit is to be issued per project address for a renovation project. The Chief Building Official has the authority to approve separate permits when the individual trades are working more than 120 days apart on individual systems such as water heaters, electric service, furnace, etc.
If in the opinion of the Chief Building Official, the valuation is underestimated on the application, the final building permit valuation shall be set by the Chief Building Official. The following table will be used to assist in that determination:
