The County Zoning Administrator shall not issue a land use permit for a structure, use, or activity not in conformity with the requirements of this chapter. The fee for filing of applications for land use permits shall be established by the Price County Board of Supervisors.

B.
All government entities covered by County zoning shall obtain all necessary permits; however, they are exempt from paying County zoning fees.
