§ 24-138. Refund of fees paid.

(a)

If a building or an electrical permit for a mobile home park or recreational vehicle park expires and no certificate of occupancy has been issued, then the feepayer, his heirs, successors or assigns, shall be entitled to a refund of the impact fee paid as a condition for its issuance, plus interest based on the local government surplus funds trust fund (Florida PRIME), except that the county and collecting government entity, if not the county, shall retain four percent of the fee retained by the county and collecting government entity. In order to receive a refund from impact fees paid on or after the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived, the request must be made within three years of when the permit expired.

(b)

Any funds not expended or encumbered by the end of the calendar quarter immediately following ten years from the date the library impact fee was paid shall, upon application of the feepayer, be returned to him with interest based on the local government surplus funds trust fund (Florida PRIME).
