A. Except as provided for in subsection (B) of this section, impact fees shall be calculated and assessed for each development activity at the time of building permit issuance for each unit within the development, pursuant to the impact fee rates then in effect; provided, that if no building permit is required for the development activity in question, impact fees shall be calculated and assessed for each development activity at the time an occupancy permit or other permit authorizing the underlying use is issued.

B. Deferral of Impact Fee Payment.

1. For single-family detached or attached single-family residential dwelling units only, impact fee payments may be deferred to final inspection or up to eighteen months from the date of issuance of the building permit, whichever occurs first. Deferral shall only be allowed when, prior to issuance of the building permit, the applicant:

a. Submits a deferred impact fee application form for the property which the applicant is requesting deferral of the impact fee payment.

b. Grants and records a deferred impact fee lien against the property in favor of the city of Monroe in a form as approved by the city. The content, form and procedure for the lien shall also be in accordance with RCW 82.02.050. Recording and release of the deferred impact fee lien shall be at the expense of the applicant.

Applications for an impact fee deferral shall be accompanied by payment of an administrative fee as provided for in the city’s adopted fee resolution.

2. Each applicant for a single-family residential construction permit is entitled to annually receive (per calendar year) deferral for only the first twenty single-family residential construction building permits. For the purposes of this subsection, an “applicant” includes an entity that controls the applicant, is controlled by the applicant, or is under common control with the applicant.

3. The city shall withhold approval of final inspection until the deferred impact fees are paid and collected. For the purposes of this section, “final inspection” shall mean the city’s signed approval of the final inspection for occupancy on the job card.

C. Applicants who have been awarded credits pursuant to MMC 3.54.060 shall prior to building permit issuance submit a copy of the statement prepared by the city engineer setting forth the monetary value of the credit awarded. Impact fees, as determined after the application of appropriate credits, shall be collected from the applicant at the time the building permit is issued for each unit in the proposed development.

D. Except as provided for in subsection (B) of this section, the city shall not issue a building, occupancy or other use permit unless and until the impact fees required pursuant to this chapter have been paid. (Ord. 005/2019 § 9)
