A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY AMENDING THE SCHEDULE FOR
PAYMENT OF FEES FOR PLAN REVIEW FOR COMMERCIAL,
INSTITUTIONAL AND MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENTS AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Indian River County Emergency Services District ("District") is
responsible for inspecting all property and investigating for fire hazards, including the
enforcement of a fire prevention code; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the above referenced authority, the District provides to the
public certain plan review, inspection and code enforcement services through its Fire
Marshal; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners ("Board") adopted Resolution
2004-071 which established reasonable fees for said services, pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 208.10-14 of Ordinance No. 2004-021; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution 2009-029, the Board amended Resolution 2004-071 as it
pertained to fees charged to organizers of Special Events for plan review, inspection
services and penalties for code enforcement; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution 2017-070, the Board created the Development Review
and Permit Process Advisory Committee ("Committee") that is charged with the duty of
identifying issues and adopting recommendations for improving the development review
and permit process; and
WHEREAS, the Committee identified an issue with the timing of the payment of fees
for construction plan review of Commercial, Institutional and Multi-family Residential
developments. The current fee schedule calls for the entire plan review fee to be paid at
the time of application. This fee is intended to cover the cost of on-site inspections. The
Committee reasoned that if an applicant submitted plans but then decide not to move
forward with the project, the applicant would have paid fees covering inspections that would
never be conducted.
WHEREAS, the Committee has recommended that Resolution 2004-071 be
amended to provide for the payment of any construction plan review fee calculated to be in
excess of$5,000.00 for Commercial, Institutional and Multi-family Residential developments
to be paid 25% at the time of building permit application and 75% prior to or at the time of
building permit issuance.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian
River County as follows:
The Board hereby adopts the following amendment to Attachment "A", Indian River County
