§ 14-3-040. Fees.

(a)

At the time of filing the food facility permit application, each applicant shall submit to the enforcement agency, the annual permit fee(s) as established by the current board of supervisors' fee resolution. The fee shall be calculated so as to recover the reasonable regulatory cost of administration and enforcement of this article, including, for example, issuing a food facility permit, administering the permit program, food facility inspection and compliance checks, documentation of violations, late fees for delinquent permits, and enforcement proceedings, but shall not exceed the cost of the regulatory program authorized by this article and by California law. All fees and interest upon proceeds of fees shall be used exclusively to fund administration and enforcement of this article. Fees are nonrefundable, except as may be required by law.

(b)

Each separate location of business shall be deemed a separate enterprise or food facility for purposes of this article.

(c)

Any permit that has not been reinstated by the designated anniversary date will not be valid, due to failure to submit permit fees, shall be deemed delinquent. Permits that continue to remain delinquent will be subject to late fees at intervals of thirty (30) days and sixty (60) days past the anniversary date. The amount assessed shall be included in the fee schedule approved by resolution of the board of supervisors.

(d)

Conditions requiring additional inspections due to noncompliance with applicable statutes/regulations will incur additional reinspection service fees as provided in the fee schedule in effect at the time of noncompliance.
