Permit fees.
Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 645-548
in effectSec. 645-548. - Permit fees.
Fees for a permit required by this division shall be based upon the character of the use and the number of cubic feet occupied by the vault, space or other structure located on, under or above the surface of the public way or public place for which a permit is to be issued, and shall be determined as uniformly as practicable by the director of business and neighborhood services, varying from a minimum fee of five dollars ($5.00) for the issuance of each permit, plus additional fees varying from a minimum of ten dollars ($10.00) to a maximum of two hundred dollars ($200.00). The board of business and neighborhood services may fix such fees in each instance, or may adopt a general schedule for the various classes of fees, based upon engineering and construction costs in the city for similar kinds of work. No additional permit fees shall be charged, except where a new permit is required for the use of additional space, for minor alterations in the construction of or changes in any structure, coalhole, elevator or other opening, or variations in the plans, but not affecting the surface of the way, which were not enumerated in the original permit, if the board of business and neighborhood services approves such changes and waives further fees, or where the party to whom the original permit was issued has transferred his or her interest to another party as provided in this division. In case of such a transfer, however, the purchaser of the interest shall pay to the division of construction and business services an additional five dollars ($5.00) for the issuance of a transfer of the permit.
