SUBJECT: CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY FEE
It is recommended that consideration be given for
an inspection fee to be paid at the time of appli-
cation for business license for the purpose of
partially reimbursing the City for it' s expense
of providing and processing Cer-tificate of Occupancy.
-The City of San Bernardino has, for years, routinely
charged such a fee which is now $15.00. Last year,
we processed approximately 300 Certificate of Occu-
pancies and at $15. 00 each, the fees would have
generated $4,500. 00 at $20. 00 each, $6 ,000.00 would
have been realized.
However, there is considerable expense entailed by
the Fire Department, Planning and Community Develop-
meet Department and Building and Safety Department
- for inspection time, vehicle expense and follow-up
work necessary to have these businesses comply with
such standards as fire and building safety, repairing
worn parking lots, repainting faded parking lot
striping, and surveying the sign situation. Inci-
dently, we plan to take photos of sign structures
to aid us in our sign enforcement program and such
film is another added expense which should not come
from the General Fund.
This Certificate of Occupancy fee is not a yearly
tax but a one time fee to reimburse the City for costs
in providing zoning, fire and building clearance for
businesses which establish on previously developed pro-
perty, which may or may not have been maintained in
accordance with City standards .
