§ 16-9. Fees and waivers.

(a)

Application fees for low-impact activity permits shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00) and the application fee for a high-impact activity permit shall be two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00). Application fees are non-refundable and must be paid in full, at time of application.

(b)

Daily permit fees of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each calendar day on which production activity physically occurs within the county shall be paid upon the last day of scheduled activity; if a production is scheduled for a duration in excess of a calendar month, the accrued daily fee shall be due and payable on the last day of each month in which production activity occurred.

(c)

Additional fees and charges may be assessed based upon specific requirements, including fees for the monitoring of public safety or special services by a county department, based upon labor, time and equipment necessary to provide the service. When using county-owned buildings or property other than public road rights-of-way, for production activities, a separate rental fee or charge may be negotiated.

(d)

Application fees and daily permit fees for use of county services or facilities may be reduced or waived for charitable or non-profit organizations holding 501(c) status from the I.R.S., or for other governmental agencies. All waivers shall require approval of the county, which may delay permit issuance.

(e)

Reduction or waiver of daily permit fees may be approved by the board of commissioners for commercial productions providing a greater than normal economic benefit to the community, as determined on a case-by-case basis.
