Annual Renewal fee $ 50.00

(2) An annual renewal fee shall continue to be due each first of September, beginning the year following issuance of the permit. Notice of late renewals shall be sent by certified mail. If renewal fees are not received within 45 days of the late renewal notice, the permit shall be cancelled. Additional cutting, trimming, or removal of vegetation greater than 4 inches in diameter within a viewing zone after the initial permit construction activity and bond release is not allowed within the Target View Zone. Maintenance activities may continue within the permitted viewing zone as long as renewals are up to date.
