Except as otherwise provided in Section 66007 of the Government Code, impact fees shall be paid to the city at the time a building permit is issued. In cases where payment of all or part of the required fee is deferred at the time of building permit issuance, the community development director may require that the applicant, at the applicant’s expense, execute a contract with the city to pay all deferred impact fees prior to final inspection and/or issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the project. The contract shall specify the amount of the unpaid fee and a legal description of the property affected. It shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder and shall constitute a lien for the payment of the fees, which shall be enforceable against the successors in interest of the property owner. When impact fees are paid in full, the city, at the expense of the applicant or property owner, shall execute a release of any lien securing those impact fees. (Ord. 1663 § 4 (Exh. A (part)), 2019)
