Staged building permit 3.15 If a building permit is issued in stages, a levy is payable prior to issuance of the first building permit.

Micro dwellings 3.17 No levy is payable for micro dwelling units that measure no more than 29.7 m?, and are built in accordance with a building permit. Change in use of excluded floor area 3.18 If the conversion of space that is not floor area to a use that makes it floor area occurs Council deems such space to be floor area as at the date of issuance of the building permit authorizing its development. Change in use of excluded land or development 3.19 If the development or change of use of land or a building or structure, that is exempt from a levy, makes it subject to a levy, such levy is due and payable at the time of such development, alteration, or change of use. - 16 - Payment of levy by installments 3.20 If the total of development cost levies imposed by the City exceeds $500,000, the payer may elect, prior to issuance of a full construction building permit, to pay the levy by installments in accordance with section 3.21. 3.21 If the payer elects to pay in installments, the payer shall pay: 3.21.1 not less than 1/3 of the total levy when issued a full construction stage building permit; 3.21.2 not less than 1/3 of the total levy within one year of the full construction stage building permit issuance; and 3.21.3 the remainder of the total levy within 2 years of the full construction stage building permit issuance. 3.22 A payer electing to pay the levy by installments must deposit with the City at the same time as the payer pays the first installment: 3.22.1 a pay-on-demand surety bond issued by an approved insurer; or 3.22.2 an irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit from an approved financial institution, for the balance of the total levy owing at the time of payment, with the form of security determined by the City. The approved insurers, approved financial institutions, and form of security are all as determined by the City at the City's sole discretion. 3.23 Notwithstanding section 3.21, no levy may remain payable at the time of occupancy of any building subject to the development cost levy. 3.24 Failure to make any payment under sections 3.21, 3.22 or 3.23 results in the full remaining unpaid levy becoming due and payable, which amount, if it is not satisfied by the security posted, may be inserted in the real property tax roll as a charge imposed with respect to the parcel or parcels in relation to which the building permit was issued. 3.25 Annual interest of prime rate plus 1% shall be payable on any levy amount that is due and payable.
