For the purpose of this article, certain terms are defined as follows:
BUILDING INSPECTOR
The appointed Building Inspector or Deputy Building Inspector.
TOWN ASSESSOR
The appointed Assessor or his designated representative.
Where application for a building permit is made to the Building Inspector of the Town of Lancaster for new construction that is not exempt from the special district tax imposed for refuse and garbage collection, and it is determined by the Building Inspector and Town Assessor that the Assessor will be unable to log in the premises for imposition of special district taxes for refuse and garbage collection for the following year due to the fact that the tax roll has been closed for that following year, then the Building Inspector shall collect an impact fee from the applicant in an amount equal to the amount being charged in refuse and garbage special district taxes to a comparable classification of property for that following tax year.
This article shall take effect after mailing, filing and publication as required by law.
