ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Approve the Ordinance. BACKGROUND On January 13, 2010, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2012-2670, modifying permit and inspection fees for building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical work and for other Building Department activities. That ordinance went into effect on February 1, 2010. Among the many changes brought about at that time, the basic fee structure was changed to provide for City Commission Memorandum-Building Department Fee Ordinance Revision Page 2 of 3 fees based on the square footage and use of the project being permitted. Additional changes were adopted by the City Commission in September 2011 and September 2012, as staff gained experience with the new fee system and adjusted for certain unintended inequities and issues that arose, as well as Consumer Price Index adjustments. During the past four years since implementation, the Building Department and City Administration have had ample opportunity to receive feedback regarding fees from homeowners, residents, design professionals, expeditors, staff members and other customers who are involved in the development review process. Generally, the Department's customers complain that the fee ordinance is entirely too complicated, lacks transparency in the sense that it is difficult or impossible to accurately predict permitting costs in advance due to its complexities, and poses many challenges for Building Department staff. Many customers have also complained that the actual fees as a percentage of job values vary dramatically for certain types of permits, resulting in certain permit types (i.e. residential) bearing a disproportionate burden of costs. Additionally, both internal and external auditors have commented on the complexity of the current fee structure, and the difficulties and risks associated with deriving accurate and consistent fees. The proposed changes to the fee ordinance involve charging a flat rate of 1.8% of job values for residential permits, and 2.0% of job values for commercial projects. It is important to note that these rates represent the Building Department's best efforts at estimating the generation of sufficient fees to cover the Department's costs of operation (as required by law) based on information available to staff in Permits Plus, the City's current permitting technology. As with all changes to the method of calculating permit fees, it is likely that staff will need to adjust these rates in the future once the actual revenues generated are determined. Revenues will be monitored closely and staff will return to the City Commission with proposed rate adjustments as determined necessary. Additionally, the Planning, Public Works and Fire Departments, who also collect fees as part of the development review process, and have their own separate fee ordinances, are considering changing their ordinances as well and may come forward with proposed changes in the near future. The Building Department is proposing amendments to Chapter 14 "Building Regulations", Article II "Construction Standards", Division 2, "Permit Fees", Sections 14-61 through 14-71 of the City Code. The following is a brief summary of the changes proposed. Please note that there are two minor changes from the First Reading of this Ordinance. • "Triplex" has been removed from the residential category for fee purposes per the Florida Building Code. This is a change from the First Reading of this Ordinance. • A reference to the "Department of Community Affairs" has been changed to the "Florida Building Commission". This is a change from the First Reading of the Ordinance to reflect the new name. • Customers will pay a flat fee for individual expedited plans review, and a new express plan review service will be available for entire projects. • Fees will be administratively adjusted annually to reflect the Consumer Price Index for the Southeast United States. • The re-evaluation of fees where the permit costs exceed 10% of the job value is eliminated as it is no longer required due to the new method of fee calculation. • Fees for Phased Permits are established. • A discount of 25% or 12.5% is provided for projects that utilize private providers based on the level of utilization of City services. City Commission Memorandum—Building Department Fee Ordinance Revision Page 3 of 3 • Time limitations and other standards are clarified and established for requesting refunds from the Building Department. • Fees and procedures for obtaining Certificates of Occupancy, Completion and Use are established. • Processes and Fees are clarified and established for obtaining Annual Facility Permits. • Various "stand-alone" fees in "Appendix A" are rounded either up or down to simplify calculations. • Commercial Permit fees for all Building, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing permits for which the cost of construction is $30,000,000 or less will be 2% of the cost of construction, and 1% for any amount over $30,000,000 (emphasis added). • Residential Permit Fees for all Building, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Permits for which the cost of construction is $1,000,000 or less will be 1.8% of the cost of construction, plus 1% of the construction cost for any amount over $1,000,000 (emphasis added).
