§ 4.60.120. Payment of fees.

Fees will be paid as follows:

A.

The DIF shall be paid at the time a certificate of occupancy is issued for the development project or upon final inspection, whichever occurs first. However this section shall not be construed to prevent payment of the fees prior to issuance of an occupancy permit or final inspection. The fees may be paid at the time application is made for a building permit.

B.

DIFs shall be assessed one time per lot or parcel except in cases of changes in land use. Fees for changes in land use shall be reduced by the amount of any previously paid fees for that property, and no refunds will be provided for changes in land use to a lower fee category. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to provide documentation of any previously paid fees.

DIFs for commercial and industrial development projects shall be paid in its entirety for the project area and shall not be prorated.

C.

The DIF required to be paid shall be the fee amounts in effect at the time of payment.

D.

There shall be no deferment of the fees beyond final inspection or issuance of certificate(s) of occupancy.

E.

Notwithstanding any other written requirements to the contrary, the DIF shall be paid whether or not the development project is subject to Riverside County conditions of approval imposing the requirement to pay the DIF.

F.

If all or part of the development project is sold prior to payment of the DIF, the property shall continue to be subject to the requirement for payment of the DIF as provided herein.

G.

For development projects which the county of Riverside does not require a final inspection or issue a certificate of occupancy, the DIF shall be paid prior to any use or occupancy.
