§ 12-3. Plan review corrections and reinspection fees.

(a)

Plan review corrections.

(1)

For design documents prepared by design professionals, in order to enforce compliance with the Code and the Florida Building Code and issue a permit, if design documents are rejected three or more times for failure to correct the same code violation specifically noted in each rejection, the POD shall impose, each time after the third such review that the design documents are rejected for the same code violation, a fee of two times the amount of the permit application fee which was charged for the initial design document review. Such fee shall be paid prior to review of the revised design documents.

(2)

For design documents prepared by design professionals, in order to enforce compliance with the Code and the Florida Building Code and issue a permit, if design documents are rejected which were:

a.

Prepared by the same design professional;

b.

On at least one submittal of design documents for three or more projects in a calendar year; and

c.

For failure to correct the same code violation specifically noted in a rejection for each project, the POD shall impose, each time after the third such project that design documents are rejected for the same code violation, a fee of four times the amount of the permit application fee which would be charged for the initial design document review for each review of design documents which were rejected for the same code violation. Such fee shall be paid prior to review of the revised design documents.

(b)

Reinspection fees.

(1)

If the POD finds it necessary to conduct a second reinspection after an initial inspection and one subsequent reinspection of any project or activity which was rejected for the same code violation specifically noted in each rejection, the POD shall impose a fee of two times the amount of the base permit fee imposed for the initial inspection or first reinspection, whichever is greater, prior to each subsequent reinspection.

(2)

For projects or activities of the same contractor, if the POD rejects an inspection for the same code violation which has been specifically noted in each rejection for three or more different projects or activities, on subsequent projects the POD shall impose a fee of four times the amount of the base permit fee imposed for the initial inspection of the project, prior to each reinspection, when the initial inspection is rejected for the same code violation.
