Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).
No application filed pursuant to this article shall be considered complete unless and until all fees due pursuant to this article have been paid. Every approval granted and every permit issued pursuant to this article, whether or not expressly so conditioned, shall be deemed to be conditioned upon payment of the required fees. The failure to fully pay any such fee when due shall be grounds for the Town of Barton to refuse to process, or to continue to process, an application and for denying or revoking any permit or approval sought or issued with respect to the land or development to which the unpaid fee relates.
The amount of all Town of Barton application fees shall be established by the Town Board and subject to change on an annual basis. All professional fees, expert and other technical consultant service fees and legal fees shall be reimbursed to the Town of Barton at the actual costs incurred by the Town of Barton as established in the Fee Schedule.
[Adopted 3-20-2012 by Ord. No. 12-002]
The Town of Barton Town Board on an annual basis shall adopt a resolution that approves a Fee Schedule for any and all fees and costs which may legally be charged by the Town to any person, firm or entity. The resolution for fees and charges, upon approval by the Town Board, shall be set forth in a Fee Schedule which shall be posted by the Town Clerk every year. The Fee Schedule shall be applicable except as required under Wisconsin law or where a specific provision of the Code specifies the fees or costs which must otherwise be charged.
