The applicant at the time of filing a submission to the Planning Board and Zoning Board shall pay to the City of Corbin City the required application fees and escrows. The application fees are non-refundable. The escrows will be paid to the City and are held to cover the costs of board professional services and other expenses and administrative costs.

The required escrows are estimates and the actual amounts needed may be less than or more than the amounts indicated. Any escrow funds not used will be returned to the applicant at the conclusion of the matter without interest. If the escrow funds are substantially depleted before the conclusion of the matter, the applicant will be required to post additional funds in order to return the escrows to the original required amounts and to have the matter proceed.

If at the conclusion of the matter there are not sufficient escrow funds to cover all costs of the City, a bill for such deficiency will be submitted to the applicant and will be paid immediately. In the event it is necessary for the City to file suit to collect any unpaid costs, the applicant will be responsible for all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees. The City may enforce payment by the withholding of building permits or Certificates of Occupancy. The City shall also retain the option of assessing any such unpaid, uncollected costs as additional taxes against the property which is the subject of the application.

Where one submission included more than one application or request for relief, or where preliminary and final approval is sought simultaneously, the applicant shall be responsible for payment for the sum of all of the individually required fees and escrows. The Board may, however, waive any portion of the required escrows where it appears reasonably likely that the full amount normally required would not be necessary. The applicant would not be relieved of the obligation to post the full required escrow amounts should the Board subsequently determine it necessary. Also, the applicant would still remain responsible for paying the actual amount of Board expenses and costs.
