B. Additional Plan Review Fees. A fee will be charged for additional plan review for each resubmittal, beyond the first, to correct errors or omissions noted during a previous review or when additional plan review is required due to changes, additions or revisions of previously approved plans. The fee shall be 50 percent of the plan review fee on Table 17C.10-1-F or 25 percent of the fee on Table 17C.60-1, but in no case less than $50.00.
C. Late Submittal Fees. A fee will be charged if application for permit is made after the required application date for firework stands or less than 15 business days in advance of the event date for all other applications in Table 17C.60-1. The fee for late submittal is $100.00.
D. Reinspection Fees. Reinspection fees in accordance with PCC 17C.10.090 shall be charged when work for which inspection is called is not complete or when corrections called for are not made.
E. Investigation Fee. Whenever any work for which a permit is required by this Code has started without first obtaining the required 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 minimum investigation fee shall be the same as the minimum fee for that work but no less than $250.00 nor more than $5,000.00. 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.
F. "Fire Final" Permit Fee. A Fire Final Permit shall be required when unique installations in new construction require an inspection to ensure Code compliance. The Fire Final Permit will track the inspection process to ensure compliance prior to occupancy. If multiple Inspection Only Permits are required for the same building, they shall be included in one permit and fee. A fee of $110.00 shall be charged, to include the permit(s) and inspection.
G. After-Hours Inspection Fee. After-hours inspection means an inspection authorized or required pursuant to the International Fire Code for which it is necessary for the convenience of the permittee to have an inspection conducted outside of normal business hours. The Fire Prevention Bureau shall charge an additional flat rate fee of $80.00 per hour, with one-hour minimum, with additional time to be computed in quarter hour increments, and to include travel time; provided, school sponsored events at public and private elementary and middle schools shall be exempt from the After-Hours Inspection Fee.
