§ 4.62.100. Payment of fees.

The fee shall be paid as follows:

A.

The fee shall be paid in full at the time a certificate of occupancy is issued for the residential unit or development project or upon final inspection, whichever occurs first. No final inspection shall be made, and no certificate of occupancy shall be issued, prior to full payment of the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan fee. However, this section shall not be construed to prevent payment of the fee prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit or final inspection.

B.

A fee shall be assessed one time per lot or parcel except in cases of changes in land use. The fee required to be paid when there is a change in land use shall be reduced by the amount of any previously paid fee for that property. No refunds shall 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 fee.

C.

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

D.

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

E.

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

F.

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

G.

If all or part of the development project is sold prior to payment of the fee, the project shall continue to be subject to the requirement to pay the fee as provided in this chapter.

H.

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

I.

For purposes of this chapter, congregate care residential facilities and recreational vehicle parks shall pay the commercial acreage fee.
