Town of Milo, NY Fees and Incurred Costs

In addition to the fees required in this article, the owner shall reimburse the Town for the cost of professional consultation fees and other expenditures attributable to the application. The Town may also require the owner to deposit a lump sum in order to retain such consultants. In the event that such sum is insufficient to fund the necessary consulting services, the Town may require additional deposits. Such payment(s) shall:

(1)

Be deposited with the Town Clerk, who shall establish a line item for this purpose. Expenditures from this line item may be made at the direction of the Town Clerk without further appropriation.

(2)

Pay only for the expenditures rendered in connection with the project for which an application has been submitted by the owner.

The failure of the owner to pay any fee or incurred cost shall be grounds for denial of an application, permit and/or certificate. Any outstanding fee or incurred cost shall be charged against the property and shall constitute a lien thereon in favor of the Town, and the amount of such fees and incurred costs shall be entered on the tax rolls as being due and payable. Such fees and incurred costs may also be recovered in any other lawful manner.

At the completion of the Town's review of an application and the issuance of a certificate of zoning compliance, any excess amount in the line item attributable to the application shall be repaid to the owner. A final report of said line item shall be made available to the owner by the Town Clerk if requested.
