§ 8-3. Fees and deposits.

(a)

Permit fees and deposits for new buildings and structures, and for alterations, additions and repairs shall be set by resolution of the mayor and town council of the Town of Cheverly.

(b)

The mayor and council are also authorized to set, by resolution, cash deposit amounts per front foot for each building or structure erected for which a permit is issued to cover possible damage to streets, curbs, gutters or walks in the public right-of-way. Said deposit shall be used by the town to cover cost of repairs to said streets, curbs, gutters or walks. Upon completion of the building or structure, this cash deposit, less any costs incurred by the town, shall be returned to the depositor. A similar deposit may be required in the case of alterations or repairs when, in the opinion of the building inspector, the nature of the alterations or repairs is such as to make possible damage to streets, curbs, gutters or walks.

(c)

In any case where building permits have been issued and no work has begun thereunder, the person who has paid the fee for said permit may return said permit for cancellation, and upon cancellation thereof, there shall be refunded to him the amount paid for the permit, less any cost which may have accrued in the issuance of same, provided that application for such refund shall be made within six (6) months after issuance of said permit.
