Article 8 — California Plumbing Code.

The 2025 California Plumbing Code is hereby amended as follows:

• (a) CPC 104.5.3 Fee refunds. The Authority Having Jurisdiction shall be permitted to authorize the refunding of a fee as follows:

  • (1) The amount paid hereunder that was erroneously paid or collected.

  • (2) The Building Official may authorize a refund of not more than 80% of the applicable permit fee paid when no work has been done under the permit. The Building Official may authorize a refund of not more than 80% of the plan review fee paid when an application for a permit is withdrawn or canceled before any examination time has been expended.

• (b) CPC 105.2.6 Reinspection fees. A reinspection fee may be imposed for each inspection or reinspection, when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete, access is denied, access is not available or when required corrections are not made. This section is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of the technical codes, but as a method of controlling the practice of calling inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or reinspection. Reinspection fees may be imposed when the approved plans are not readily available to the inspector; for failure to provide access on the date for which the inspection is requested; or for deviating from plans requiring the approval of the Building Official. In instances where reinspection fees have been assessed, the permit will not be finaled nor occupancy granted until the required fees have been paid. Reinspection fees are established by City Ordinance.
