§ 16.36.040. Payment of fees.

A.

Drainage fees shall be paid at the time of the issuance of grading permits for the approved parcels or at the time of issuance of building permits if no grading permits are issued for the parcels and may be paid, at the option of the land owner, in pro rata amounts. The amount of the drainage fee required to be paid shall be the amount that is in effect for the particular area drainage plan at the time of issuance of the grading permits or prior to issuance of the building permits if grading permits are not issued.

B.

The drainage fee shall be paid to the Riverside County flood control and water conservation district at the time of issuance of a grading or building permit. Upon issuance of the grading or building permit, written documentation verifying payment of the drainage fee shall be submitted to the building official of the Riverside County department of building and safety. All fees that are collected shall thereafter be deposited into a local drainage facilities fund maintained under the jurisdiction of the Riverside County flood control and water conservation district. A separate fund shall be established by the district for each adopted local drainage area. Money in such funds shall be expended for construction or reimbursement for construction including acquisition of rights-of-way necessary for construction of the drainage facilities serving the drainage area for which the fees are collected, or to reimburse the district for the cost of engineering and administrative services to design and construct and acquire any necessary rights-of-way for the facilities.
