A.

A non-refundable fee of seventy-five dollars shall be paid for each demolition permit. Each permit shall be valid for no more than thirty days.

B.

In the event that the demolition involves disconnection of any city water, storm sewer or sanitary sewer services, a refundable fee of one thousand dollars shall be paid, subject to the following conditions:
