§ 70-38. Refunds.

(a)

If a building permit expires and no construction has been commenced, then the feepayer shall be entitled to a refund of the impact fee paid as a condition for its issuance, except that the county shall retain a portion of the funds to offset the costs of refund, based on the following schedule:

Fee Paid (Excluding Administrative Fee)	Retained Percent
$5,000.00 or less	3%
$5,000.01 plus	3% of the first $5,000.00 and 1% of the remainder above $5,000.00

 

The schedule in this subsection shall apply to all requests for refunds originally submitted on or after the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived, regardless of the date of permit issuance or original fee paid.

(b)

Any funds not expended or encumbered by the end of the calendar quarter immediately following five years from the date the fire/rescue service impact fee was paid shall, upon application of the feepayer within 180 days of that date, be returned to such owner with interest at the rate of six percent per annum.
