Show full citationHideREDMOND'S PERMIT FEES ARE IN ITS ZONING CODE, NOT ITS BUILDING CODE. RMC 15.08.050(F) amends the fee section to read that "a fee for each permit shall be paid as required, in accordance with Redmond Zoning Code Section 21.76.030, Application Requirements, as said section currently exists or is hereafter amended, modified or recodified." RZC 21.76.030 WAS NOT OPENED for this entry, so no amount is stated here. NOTE WHO SETS THE VALUATION: RMC 15.08.050(G) provides that "The applicant for a permit shall provide an estimated permit value at time of application", and that valuations "shall include total value of work, including materials and labor" - which is the opposite of Vancouver, where the building official derives the valuation from national statistical averages. |
