B. Fees for Miscellaneous Inspection Services
Fees for inspection service outside regular working hours or for inspection service requested but not covered by a permit will be charged for at a rate equal to the cost of performing the service.
Fees for permanent location inspection of factory housing or modular unit containing plumbing-For each single-family dwelling or each modular unit containing plumbing $20
Plumbing permit includes on-site connections of building drain extensions, water service and necessary gas piping connections.
Additional plumbing fixtures installed after factory installation of plumbing for each plumbing fixture or trap $10
Fees for reconnection and retest of plumbing systems in relocated buildings-For each building containing plumbing $20
Plumbing permit includes on-site connections of building drain extensions, water service and necessary gas piping connections.
Additional plumbing fixtures installed after relocation for each plumbing fixture or trap $10
C. For the purpose of this section, "fixture" means and includes an appliance that is connected with a water, drain or vent pipe, but a sillcock faucet or hose bibb is not considered a fixture. A sanitary plumbing outlet on or to which a plumbing fixture or appliance may be set or attached shall be construed to be a fixture.
D. Any person who commenced any work for which a permit is required by this Plumbing Code without first having obtained such permit shall upon subsequent application for the permit pay double the fee fixed by the schedule of fees for the work in subsections A and B of this section unless it is proved to the satisfaction of the Administrative Authority that the work was urgently necessary and that it was not practical to obtain a permit prior to the commencement of the work. In all such emergency cases, a permit shall be obtained as soon as it is practical to do so, and if there is an unreasonable delay in obtaining the permit, a double fee shall be charged as provided in this Code.
E. A reinspection fee of $130 may be assessed for each inspection or reinspection if the portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or if corrections called for are not made. This subsection does not require inspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with this Code, but is intended to control the practice of calling for inspection or reinspection.
Reinspection fees may be assessed if the permit is not properly posted on the work site, the work to be inspected is not under test, for failure to provide access on the date for which inspection is requested or for failure to make required corrections. Requests for reinspection shall be made in writing upon forms furnished for that purpose, and shall be accompanied by the reinspection fee in accordance with this section. If reinspection fees have been assessed, additional inspection of the work shall not be performed until the required fees have been paid.
22.504.020 Refund of fees
If the work for which a permit fee has been paid is not be started, the Administrative Authority, upon proper application for refund and surrender of the permit for cancellation, shall issue a refund. In determining the amount of refund due, the Administrative Authority shall deduct the amount of the basic fee to cover the cost of administration of the permit. A refund shall not be made for an expired permit.))

Section 17. Section 22.900G.030 of the Seattle Municipal Code, last amended by Ordinance 124047, is amended as follows:
22.900G.030 Fees for review by Public Health-Seattle & King County
A. Fees for plumbing, medical or dental gas, lab gas, and fuel gas piping shall be collected by the Director of Public Health - Seattle & King County in accordance with chapter 16.32 of the King County Code. ((The gas piping installation fee is calculated according to Table G-2 for 22.900G.030. A minimum of $140 is nonrefundable.
B. The fee shall not apply to the installation of any domestic hot-water heaters or any other domestic gas-fired appliance connected to a plumbing system whenever such appliance or heater is included in a plumbing installation for which a basic plumbing permit has been issued.
C. A reinspection fee for fuel gas piping of $130 may be assessed for each inspection where such portion of work for which inspection is called for is not complete or when corrections called for are not made. This is not to be interpreted as requiring inspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this Code, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspection or reinspection.
Reinspection fees may be assessed when the permit is not properly posted on the work site, the work to be inspected is not under test, and for failure to make required corrections. To obtain a reinspection the applicant shall file an application therefor in writing upon a form furnished for that purpose, and pay the reinspection fee in accordance with this Code. In instances in which reinspection fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees have been paid.))
