A. Application Fee. A nonrefundable $50.00 application fee shall be paid when applying for a grading permit with the Algona planning/building department. Submittals which do not meet the standards of this chapter, and necessitate a re-review by the city, will require a new application and payment of a second application fee.

Work which starts before a permit is issued by the city will result in the applicant being charged a double application and permit fee, plus any engineering, administrative and legal expenses incurred by the city in investigating, field checking and handling the unpermitted work.

B. Grading Fees. In addition to the application fee, grading and impervious surface area fees shall be paid as follows:
