Refunds

Refund requests must be made in writing within 180 days of fee payment, and are based on the following rules:


  • Permit Fees: 80% of permit fees may be refunded when an active permit is cancelled prior to any work or field inspections. The State Surcharge and City Administrative Fees are non-refundable. A refund is not available if any work has started on the permit or if the permit is expired.
  • Plan Review Fees: 80% of the fee may be refunded when an application is withdrawn or cancelled before plan review is started. A refund is not available if any plan review has been performed.
