Payment of fees.
Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 645-433
in effectSec. 645-433. - Payment of fees.
(a) No permit required by this division shall be issued until the applicant therefor shall first pay to the division of construction and business services the regular permit fee, plus all fees for the various types of work proposed to be done.
(b) The general fee for a permit required by this division shall be as established by this Code for the type of excavation for which the permit is sought. If such permit fees are not prescribed and fixed as to any type of work to reimburse the city in whole or in part for its expenses, including its inspections of any kind of work requiring cuts in pavements and excavations in streets, or public places, or in any portions thereof, or in effecting connections of abutting property with any public sewer, drain or public utility service lines, or for any other work, the board of code compliance is hereby authorized to adopt at any time a reasonable general schedule covering the various kinds of such work, based upon the prevailing engineering standards entering into work of similar character and the customary amount of such fees and charges in the city. Such charges shall not be less than five dollars ($5.00) for the issuance of each permit, to which may be added for all permits a flat minimum charge of not over ten dollars ($10.00). In addition to such two (2) initial charges or fees totaling fifteen dollars ($15.00) to compensate the city for its general expenses involved, chargeable for all permits for any kind of work to be done thereunder, the board shall determine by the standards in general use and shall adopt a reasonable schedule of charges for constructing or replacing pavements or surfaces of streets or sidewalks, using concrete, asphalt, bituminous treated gravel, dirt or plain gravel, or any other type of surface materials, and based upon the estimated and usual cost thereof per square yard for similar work in the city, in an amount sufficient to cover the cost of all such work that will be required in any instance under each permit. The schedule may be revised from time to time, as conditions and costs may vary and require. At this time, to be so determined and adopted by the board, there may be a minimum charge per square yard for all such work on the roadways or streets of ten dollars ($10.00) for concrete or asphalt; seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) for bituminous treated gravel; five dollars ($5.00) for dirt or plain gravel; and fifty cents ($0.50) for concrete sidewalks; but the board may alter or vary such scale of charges as it finds to be fair and reasonable.
