ARTICLE 4 PLAN REVIEW AND ISSUANCE OF A CONSTRUCTION PERMIT 4-1 Plan review fee.
The Director of the Division shall charge a fee for plan review and issuance of a construction permit within the ranges in Table 4-1 to cover the actual, reasonable, and necessary expenses of both the Division of Oil and Public Safety in the Department of Labor and Employment and the Division of Fire Safety in the Department of Public Safety. The ranges of fees were calculated based upon the number of projects received in FY 2006 and the anticipated annual expenses as appropriated by the legislature. The fees incorporate a base rate of $50.00, a multiplier of 0.0065 for the first calculated range ($2,001 to $25,000), and a discount factor of 0.641 to integrate economies of scale for subsequent ranges. The actual fee, for a particular dollar amount within these ranges, will be available on the OPS website. Table 4-1 – Plan Review Fees Table 4-1 – Plan Review .
The Director of the Division will review the fund balance periodically and may reduce the amount of the fee, if necessary, pursuant to section 24-75-402 (3), C.R.S., in order to reduce the uncommitted reserves of the fund. The new fee structure will be calculated according to the formula identified in Section 4-1, with the exception that the multiplier of 0.0065 will be adjusted in order to decrease the fees collected to reflect the revised number and costs of projects received. The reduced fee schedule (with the dates of applicability) will be available on the OPS website. The fee schedule applied to a project will be the fee schedule in effect on the date of issuance of the construction permit. 4-3 Plan review fee – increased.
The Director of the Division may increase the amount of the fee as provided in section 24-75-402 (4), C.R.S., if necessary. The new fee structure will be calculated according to the formula identified in Table 4-1 with the exception that the multiplier of 0.0065 will be adjusted in order to increase the fees collected to reflect the revised number and costs of projects received. The increased fee schedule (with the dates of applicability) will be available on the OPS website. The fee schedule applied to a project will be the fee schedule in effect on the date of issuance of the construction permit.
