§ 1.5. Fees

A.

Reasonable fees sufficient to cover the costs of administration, inspection, publication of notice and similar matters may be charged to applicants for applications including, but not limited to, conditional district applications, subdivision plat approval, zoning amendments, variances, appeals and other administrative relief. The amount of the fees charged shall be as set forth in the Town's then-current fee schedule (entitled at the time of adoption of this Ordinance the "Mint Hill Planning Department Fee Schedule"), which may be updated from time to time by the Board of Commissioners.

B.

Except as otherwise provided in this UDO or the miscellaneous fees and charges schedule, fees established in accordance with Subsection (A) shall be paid upon submission of a signed application or notice of appeal. No application will be deemed complete by the Administrator unless and until the applicable fee(s) are paid.

C.

While applications shall be processed expeditiously under this Ordinance, the Administrator may delay action on any application until all fees (including without limitation, engineering review fees) arising out of the permit review process for that particular development have been paid.

D.

Nothing in this Section shall be read to restrict the Board of Commissioners' right, in its sole discretion, to waive any fees that might otherwise apply, or the Administrator's right to waive fees in reasonable circumstances.
