In order to provide training, certification and technical support programs required by the Uniform Construction Code Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the enforcing agency shall collect, in addition to the fees specified above, a surcharge fee as per N.J.A.C. 5:23-4.19(b). Said surcharge fee shall be remitted to the Construction Code Element, Division of Housing and Development, Department of Community Affairs, on a quarterly basis for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30 and not later than one month succeeding the end of the quarter for which it is due. The enforcing agency shall report annually at the end of each fiscal year to the Bureau of Housing Inspection, and not later than July 31, the total amount of the surcharge fee collected.
Editor's Note: "The regulations" refers to the regulations established by the Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs.
There shall be a reduction of 20% of the fee being charged for any prototype construction permits. The fee shall be calculated by calculating the actual permit fee required and then subtracting therefrom a twenty-percent reduction to determine the revised fee.
Charitable, philanthropic, fraternal, athletic, recreational and religious nonprofit organizations holding a tax-exempt status under the Federal Internal Revenue Code of 1954 [26 U.S.C. § 501(c) or (d)] shall be eligible for a refund of 50% of the Uniform Construction Code ("UCC") fees set forth in § 125-3A(1), Alterations, repairs, and remodeling, paid since April 1, 2016, excluding the surcharge fee to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs provided for in § 125-5 upon receipt of satisfactory proof of qualifications. This section providing for partial exemption from the U.C.C. fees for qualified religious, charitable and nonprofit organizations shall expire on December 31, 2017, unless further extended by formal action of the Township Council.
In addition to the fees specified above, a plan review fee pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:23-4.18 shall be computed as a percentage of the fee to be charged for the construction permit. This percentage shall, to the extent possible, approximate the actual costs incurred in plan review activities, but in any case shall not be less than 5% nor more than 25% of the amount that would be charged for the construction permit.
