H. ANNUAL FACILITY PERMITS
In accordance with the provisions of the Florida Building Code, each firm or
organization which performs its own maintenance work with certified maintenance
personnel as well as helpers thereunder may pay to the City of Aventura an annual
Master and Subsidiary Facility Permit (Premise Permit) fee in lieu of other fees for
maintenance work. Such fee shall be paid to the Community Development Department
and such permit shall be renewed annually at a fee which is calculated in accordance with
the provisions of this subsection.
1. CALCULATION OF THE INTIAL MASTER FACILITY PERMIT FEE
Each firm or organization which obtains an annual Master premise permit shall
include in their application for such permit the total number of maintenance personnel,
including helpers and trainees thereunder assigned to building, electrical, plumbing or
mechanical work. The Master Facility Permit (Premise Permit) shall be computed by
multiplying the total number of such employees times seventy-two dollars ($72.00). The
minimum Master Facility Permit fee shall be one thousand three hundred and fifty dollars
($1350.00).
2. CALCULATION OF THE INITIAL SUBSIDIARY FACILITY PERMIT
FEE
Each firm or organization which utilizes decentralized locations in addition to the
main location described under 1. above may additionally apply for a Subsidiary Facility
Permit (Premise Permit) for each such decentralized location. Such application for a
Subsidiary Facility Permit (Premise Permit) shall include the same information required
in 1. above. The Subsidiary Facility Permit Fee shall be computed by multiplying the
Page 19 of 21
total number of such employees times seventy-two dollars ($72.00). The minimum
Subsidiary Facility Permit fee shall be three hundred and eighty dollars ($380.00).
3. RENEWAL OF FACILITY PERMIT
Prior to each facility permit expiration, the holder will be sent a renewal notice to
continue the facility permit for the next renewal period. The calculation of the renewal
facility permit fee shall be the same as the method used to calculate the original facility
permit fee. No allowances shall be made for late renewal fees or part year renewal fees.
