When the estimated cost exceeds five thousand dollars, the
permit fee shall be forty dollars, plus two dollars for each
additional one thousand dollars or fraction thereof, but in no
event exceeding five hundred dollars.
The estimated cost shall include labor and material involved
in the installation, or replacement of all electric wires, cords,
cables, raceways, busways, boxes, cabinets, gutters, troughs,
fittings, switches, devices, circuit breakers, controllers, relays;
signal, time, temperature and communication equipment;
overcurrent devices, receptacles, lampholders; lighting fixtures,
fittings and accessories; panelboards, switchboards,
switchgear, transformers, batteries, resistors, reactors, rectifiers,
control and distribution centers; light posts and standards,
poles and accessories and other nonelectrical materials
used in conjunction therewith; but shall exclude the cost of
labor and materials involved in the installation or replacement
of appliances, motors, generators, machinery and similar
equipment.
All such electrical permits shall be issued upon payment of
a fee based on the estimated total physical value as hereinabove
set forth. Upon completion of the work for which such
a permit is issued, an accurate statement of the actual cost
thereof shall be furnished to the city electrician by the party
to whom the permit was issued; and thereupon adjustment of
the difference between the fee properly chargeable, based on
the actual cost, and the fee paid, based on the estimated total
physical value, shall be made. If the actual cost exceeds the
estimated cost, the party to whom the permit was issued shall
pay the difference in fee; if the actual cost be less than the
estimated cost, then the director of finance is hereby authorized,
upon request of the city electrician to refund to the
party, by whom the estimated fee was paid, such portion
thereof as constitutes an overpayment. (Code 1959, § 10-13;
12-20-48; 2-6-61.)
