San Jacinto Municipal Code Art. 2 Construction Plans Storage Fee

A. The state requires that applicants for building permits for new construction and some existing construction submit calculations demonstrating compliance with the energy conservation standards.

B. The state requires that certain construction plans be stored indefinitely.

(Prior code § 15.08.010)

As the requirements of the state increase the cost of the building division, the fees described in this article are established to offset the costs. The amount of each fee may be set forth in a resolution adopted by the city council, but in no event shall be less than the amount described in Sections 15.08.100 and 15.08.110 of this chapter.

(Prior code § 15.08.020)

For the purpose of defraying the cost of storage of plans and permits, a fee equal to 0.02 percent of the permit valuation for all permits shall be paid by the applicant. In addition a charge of ten dollars ($10.00) per page of construction plans shall be submitted for all nonresidential construction and residential construction in excess of two stories to pay for microfilming, as those plans must be stored indefinitely.

(Prior code § 15.08.030)

For the purpose of reimbursing the city for the cost involved in checking construction for compliance with the California Energy Conservation Standards, a fee equal to fifteen (15) percent of the building permit fee, as set forth in Section 304 of the Uniform Building Code currently in effect, shall be paid by the applicant.

(Prior code § 15.08.040)
