The Planning & Building isonly able to consider a refund for a portion of the feesyou paid for your Administrative Permit (No. 11-024) which totaled $551.00.

However, for requeststo reimburse you in amounts greater than the fees paid may require aformal claim submittal processedoutside of the Planning& Building Department.
