§ 22.18. [Fees].

(1)

Before any permit is issued for the installation or alteration of electrical wiring, devices or equipment, the Electrical Contractor making application for such permit shall pay to the City a fee. Permit fees shall be set by the City Council of the City of Orlando, by Resolution, which may be amended from time to time. A certified copy of the Resolution setting forth current permit fees shall be on file with the City Clerk and the Building Official.

(2)

Failure to Obtain a Permit. Where any electrical installation is commenced before a permit is obtained, the permit fees shall be doubled. Double fees shall not be charged if, prior to the start of any electrical work, a master electrician satisfies the chief electrical inspector that he is unable to obtain a permit prior to the start of the work. However, if the contractor does not obtain a permit within seventy-two (72) hours after the start of the work, double fees will be charged.
