SUMMARY STATEMENT
Attached is the Expiration, Refund & Transfer Policy For Building Permit Related Fees and Water & Sewer
Connection Fees. Prior to a couple of years ago, there was not a written policy to explain building permit
fees related to expiration, refund and transfers of building permit fees. The McCall City Code and the
International Code Council were used as a basis for decision making but the information was not previously
compiled or available with the building permit.
The McCall City Code (MCC 2.3.030) states that building permits expire after 180 days using similar
language in the International Code Council (ICC). Section 105 defines the expiration of a permit (180 days)
and the building official has the authorization to grant one or more extensions not exceeding 180 days with
each extension which needs to be in writing and justifiable.
The portion of the transfer policy was developed by staff with the assistance of the City Attorney to address
change of ownership. In the ICC Section 8, the Building Official is authorized to establish a refund policy.
The Community Development Department established a formal refund policy a couple of years ago (similar
to the attached policy).
The attached document has been revised slightly to clarify some of the language and add the Water and
Sewer Connection fee section. Since these fees are collected with the building permit, staff feels it is
important to include this information in the same policy which is issued with the building permit.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt the Expiration, Refund & Transfer Policy For Building Permit Related Fees and Water & Sewer
Connection Fees.
