Unofficial compilation built from the City's published 2010 Code chapters and the text of adopted ordinances. Effective dates are inferred from adoption records; scanned chapters were OCR'd. The City of Tiffin's adopted Code of Ordinances governs. Not legal advice.
13.03 FEES
The City Clerk is directed to issue permits, under this Ordinance, for the construction or alteration of residential, commercial, or industrial, or planned area development buildings, and to charge fees in the amounts set by resolution of the City Council. The fees required must be credited to the General Fund of the City of Tiffin. Unless specifically provided otherwise, fees are not refundable once any application has been accepted by the City Clerk. Building permits may be issued, however, without charge to:
A. the United States Government or any political subdivision thereof, and
B. the State of Iowa or any political subdivision thereof; and
C. any religious group for the construction of a church or parochial school.
VIOLATIONS AND PENALTIES
History
Dates: an Iowa ordinance takes effect when it is published after adoption. Where the clerk's certificate records the publication date it is used; otherwise the adoption date stands in for it. "Not yet consolidated" means the ordinance amends this section but its new text has not been checked into this compilation yet: read the ordinance.
