BY AMENDING SECTIONS 8114 AND 8114 .1, PERTAIN-
ING TO BUILDING PERMIT FEES
The City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does
ordain as follows :
SECTION 1 . The Huntington Beach Ordinance Code is hereby
amended by amending Sections 8114 amd 8114 . 1, to read as follows :
8114 . Section 303 (a) of the Uniform Building Code, Volume
I, 1970 Edition, is hereby amended to read as follows :
303 (a) Building Permit Fees . A fee for each building
permit shall be paid to the Building Official
as set forth in Table No . 3-A.
The determination of value or valuation under any of
the provisions of this code shall be made by the Building
Official. The valuation to be used in computing the permit
and plan-check fees shall be the total value of all con-
struction work for which the permit is issued, as well as
all finish work, painting, roofing, electrical, plumbing,
heating, air conditioning, elevators , fire-extinguishing
systems and any other permanent work or permanent equipment .
8114 . 1 Section 303 of the Uniform Building Code, Volume I ,
1970 Edition, is hereby amended by adding new subsections 303 (c) ,
303 (d) and 303 (e) , to read as follows :
303 (c) Special Services . At the request of an applicant
the Building Official may authorize the performance
of special services not otherwise required by this code nor
included in the schedule of fees as specified in this section.
The fee for any such special service shall be set by resolu-
tion of the City Council . The minimum fee shall be based on
not less than two hours per special service request . The
fee shall be paid to the City of Huntington Beach.
303 (d) Investigation Fees . Where any work requiring a
permit commences prior to the obtaining of the per-
mit, the total permit fee shall be the standard permit fee
er 1.
as required in subsection (a) of this section plus an in-
vestigation fee . Where the standard permit fee is equal
to $10 . 00 or less the minimum investigation fee shall be
$10 . 00 . Where the standard permit fee is in excess of
$10 . 00 the investigation fee shall be the same as the
standard permit fee .
The payment of the investigation fee shall not exempt
any person from compliance with the provisions of the code
or from any other penalty prescribed by law.
303 (e) Reinspection Fee . A reinspection fee may be
assessed for each inspection or reinspection when
such portion of work for which inspection is called is not
complete or when corrections called for are not made .
This subsection is not to be interpreted as requiring
reinspection fees the first time a job is rejected for fail-
ure to comply with the requirements of this code , but as
controlling the practice of calling for inspections before
the job is ready for such inspection or reinspection.
Reinspection fees may be assessed when the permit card
is not properly posted on the work site , the approved plans
are not readily available to the inspector, for failure to
provide access on the date for which inspection is requested,
or for deviating from plans requiring the approval of the
Building Official .
To obtain a reinspection the applicant shall file an
application therefor in writing and pay the reinspection
fee .
In instances where reinspection fees have been assessed
no additionl inspection of the work will be performed until
the required fees have been paid.
The fee for each reinspection shall be $10 .00 .
SECTION 2 . This ordinance shall take effect thirty days
after its adoption. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage
of this ordinance and cause same to be published within fifteen
days after adoption in the Huntington Beach News , a weekly news-
paper of general circulation, printed and published in Huntington
Beach, California.
