The fee for a permit required by section 10.05.031 shall be as set forth in the fee schedule in appendix A of this code. If work is begun without obtaining such permit, an additional fee shall be charged for each day’s delay in obtaining the permit. The payment of such fee shall not relieve any person from prosecution for violating section 10.05.031. Public utility companies are exempt from the payment of the permit fee; however, they are subject to the delay fee.
