Ross Municipal Code § 89.108 California Electrical Code

Investigation Fees: Work Without a Permit. Any person who commences any electrical work for which a permit by the Town Code or resolution is required, without first having obtained a permit therefore, shall pay in addition to any other penalty or fine, a special investigation fee as set forth in the resolution of Town Council. This provision shall not apply to emergency work when it is proved to the satisfaction of the Building Official that the work was urgently necessary and that it was not practical to obtain the required permit before commencement of the work. In all such emergency cases, a permit must be obtained as soon as

it is practical to do so, and if there is an unreasonable delay in obtaining such permit, the investigation fees provided shall be charged, notwithstanding the earlier emergency. (Ord. 718 (part), 2022; Ord. 700 (part), 2019; Ord. 675 (part), 2016; Ord. 650 (part), 2013; Ord. 647 (part), 2013).
