(a) Local Enforcement. Any person submitting an application for a permit to construct shall pay appropriate fees. Valuation of buildings for the purpose of determining fees for permits to construct shall be determined by the enforcement agency. The governing body of any city or county may prescribe fees for permits, certificates, or other forms or documents required or authorized by this subchapter.

(b) Enforcement by the Department. The fees specified in this subchapter shall apply where the Department is the enforcement agency.

(1) Penalty Fees. Where work for which a permit is required by this subchapter is started or proceeded with prior to obtaining that permit, the fees specified in this article may be increased by the enforcement agency but shall not be more than double the fees specified for obtaining the permit; however, the payment of that fee shall not relieve any persons from fully complying with the requirements of this subchapter in the execution of the work or from any penalties prescribed herein.

(2) Plan Check Fees for Identical Buildings. When any person files applications simultaneously to construct two or more buildings which are identical, only one plan check fee will be required. Upon payment of that plan check fee and the filing of an additional set of plans with the enforcement agency, subsequent construction permits may be issued for other identical buildings without payment of plan check fees.

(3) Minimum Permit Fee. The total permit fee is the sum of the fees prescribed in subsections (b)(4), (b)(5) and (b)(6) of this section and in no case shall be less than $15.

(4) Plan Check Fees. Plan check fees shall be equal to one-half of the combined total of construction, mechanical, plumbing and electrical permit fees, as set forth in Tables A, B, and C, however, the minimum fee shall be $10. Those plans which have been returned to the plan submitter for correction shall be resubmitted along with a fee equal to 25 percent of the original plan check fee.

(5) Permit Issuance Fee. The permit issuance fee shall be $10. A single permit may be issued for all work to be accomplished at the same time on the same premises.

§1336. Wind Load Calculation.

Note • History

Wind load is calculated as follows:

(a) From the exterior of the MH-unit, measure the total length of the exposed side wall in feet and in fractions of feet. Then measure the height of the exposed side wall in feet and fractions of feet, measuring from the point of connection of the side wall with the roof to the bottom of the sidewall, excluding any skirting installed at the site. Multiply the measurement of the length of the side wall by the measurement of the height of the side wall to obtain the exposed square footage of the side wall.

(b) From the exterior of the MH-unit, measure the total length of the exposed roof in feet and fractions of feet. Then measure the height of the exposed roof in feet and fractions of feet, measuring vertically from the point of connection with the side wall to the peak of the roof. Multiply the measurement of the length of the roof by the measurement of the height of the roof to obtain the exposed square footage of the roof. Divide the square footage by two, in order to compensate for the reduced wind load against a pitched roof.

(c) Add the square footage obtained in the calculation described in subsection (a) to the square footage obtained in the calculation described in subsection (b) to obtain the total square footage of the exterior side of the MH-unit exposed to wind load.

(d) Multiply the square footage obtained in the calculation described in subsection (c) by either the design wind load of the MH-unit or by fifteen (15) psf, whichever is greater, to obtain the wind load. The design wind load of the MH-unit is provided on the data plate permanently affixed to the MH-unit.

EXAMPLE: The side wall of the MH-unit measures sixty-two and one-half feet (62 1/2') in length and ten feet (10') in height. The roof of the MH-unit measures sixty-three and one-half feet (62 1/2') in length and four and one-third feet (4 1/3') in height. These measurements result in a calculated wind load of 11,437 pounds using the above-described method.

(a) 62.5 x 10 = 625 square feet

(b) 63.5 x 4.33 = 274.96/2 = 137.48 square feet

(d) 762.48 x 15 = 11,437.2 or a 11,437 pound wind load.
