San Diego Municipal Code § 63.25.25
in effect§63.25.25 Mooring Permit Fees
The owner of every vessel in the designated anchorage areas having a mooring shall pay the City an initial permit fee payable upon issuance of a permit, and thereafter shall pay the City a yearly fee to be paid on the first business day of March of each year, to be effective for the following twelve month period. The permit shall specify that it is the responsibility of the recipient of the permit to pay the annual fee if the recipient wishes to renew the permit and the City shall not be required to send a reminder notice to that effect.
The mooring permit shall further provide that if the owner fails to renew on the annual date specified and is in arrears for a period of seven (7) days, the Director shall, unless extraordinary circumstances exist, impound the mooring and make the space available, using normal procedures, to any other person who qualifies for a permit. The owner of an impounded mooring who wishes to claim it shall be charged a fee for the removal and storage of the mooring. If the owner fails to claim the mooring within a thirty (30) day period, the title to that mooring shall pass to The City of San Diego.
The amount of the fees herein required shall be established by the City Manager upon the recommendation of the Director.
