Footnotes to Table D-2 for 22.900D.010 1 The minimum permit fee or plan review fee for value-based fees is (($231)) $252. 2 The minimum plan review fee for subject-to-field-inspection (STFI) value-based plan review is (($92.45)) $100.90. 3 This fee is applicable only to those initial tenants that reflect the use and occupancy established in the shell and core permit. The value used shall be the new construction value used in calculating value for the shell and core permit. 4 If a swimming pool is located within an enclosed building and is included in the building plans for that building, a separate fee shall not be charged for the swimming pool. The swimming pool area will be considered as floor area of the principal occupancy of the building. 5 This fee shall not apply to any on-site, temporary construction office where a valid building permit is in force. 6 Master use permit fees for such temporary uses shall be charged according to Table C-1 for 22.900C.010. |

In addition to the minimum building permit fee, if records research, plan examination or inspection is required, charges shall be assessed at the SDCI hourly rate. If work is being done as authorized by a permit, the permanent Certificate of Occupancy fee is not assessed in addition to the building permit fee. The fee for a temporary Certificate of Occupancy shall be charged at the rate of 1/2 the base fee. The fee for the duplication of a Certificate of Occupancy is (($38.65)) $42.20 unless records research, plan examination or inspection is required, in which case charges shall be assessed at the SDCI hourly rate.
