It is possible a violation existed prior to property purchase by a new owner, was
constructed by an individual who misled the owner, or was constructed by an individual
who was unaware of code requirements. The fact that violations may not have been
created by the current owner does not relieve Code Enforcement staff from their
responsibility to seek compliance from the property owner. When assessing permit fees,
consideration may be given based on the circumstances, severity of the violation, and
timeliness of the property owner to resolve and obtain required permits and compliance
with City code.
Building Permit Fee Reductions. The Director is authorized to waive building,
mechanical or plumbing permit fees for homeowners that are already enrolled in another
City program that is intended to benefit low-income residents (e.g. housing home repair
program, utility discount program). This fee reduction may also be extended to contractors
that are applying for permits on behalf of these homeowners provided that it can be
documented that the discount is benefiting the homeowner and not supplementing a
contractor's profit.

MESU, Equivalent Service Unit - A configuration of development of hard surfaces (which include impervious
surfaces, permeable pavements, and vegetated roofs) estimated to contribute an amount of runoff to the
City's storm drainage system which is approximately equal to that created by the average single family
residential parcel. Although gravel surfaces are considered a hard surface under ACC 13.48.010, gravel
surfaces are not included in the calculation of the SDCs. One ESU is considered equal to 2,600 square feet of
parcel coverage by hard surfaces. Per ACC 13.48.010.
When calculating the total SDC, a credit of 1 ESU will be given for each single-family residential or two-family
residential parcel conversions to non -single-family use. For all others, when calculating the total SDC, a credit
will be applied for the existing hard surface area except existing gravel surfaces.
