The building code adopted in section 18-56 is amended in the following respects and/or by adding the following:

(1)

Schedule of permit fees. On all buildings, structures, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and gas systems or alterations requiring a permit, a nonrefundable deposit that will be applied to the permit shall be collected at the time of permit application submittal, in accordance with the schedule as established by the city commission of the city as set forth in its schedule of fees.

a.

The schedule of building permit fees shall be established by resolution of the city commission and shall be kept on file in the building official's office. Fees and permit rates arising under this division may be amended from time to time by the city commission by resolution.

b.

There shall be one building permit issued to the contractor/builder of record, which shall also be deemed the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and all applicable trades required. All subcontractors intended to be used, and those used, for a project shall be listed with each state license number on the building permit application. When there is a change in subcontractor, the permit applicant shall notify the building department of the change, in writing, within ten days of the change on a "Notice of Contractor Change" form. The applicant shall pay the applicable fee at the time of notice of the change.
