A. If a building permit or permit for mobile home installation expires without commencement of construction, then the fee payer shall be entitled to a refund, without interest, of the impact fee paid as a condition of its issuance; except, that the city shall retain five percent of the fee to offset a portion of the costs of collection and refund. The fee payer must submit an application for such refund to the city engineer within thirty days of the expiration of the permit.

B. Any funds not expended or encumbered by the end of the calendar quarter immediately following six years from the date the transportation impact fee was paid shall, upon application of the then current landowner, be returned to such landowner with any interest incurred thereon; provided, that the landowner submits an application for a refund to the city engineer within one hundred eighty days of the expiration of the six year period. (Ord. 469 §1, 2002).
