costs to be incurred by the department and the applicant shall deposit this
amount with the department in the form of cash, check, or money order prior to
the performance of such work by the department. If the special work is not
performed, the entire deposit will be returned to the applicant. If the work is
performed and the total direct cost is less than the amount on deposit, then
any excess will be returned to the applicant. If the work is performed and the
total direct cost is greater than the amount on deposit, then the applicant
will be billed for the deficiency. This fee for special work is in addition to
the permit fees specified in this rule.

sufficient to meet the increased level of risk.

Direct payment
may be made by cash, credit card, check or money order. Checks and money orders
must be made payable to the treasurer of state, c/o Ohio department of

service may be utilized for credit card transactions.

payment account may be established by depositing with the special hauling
permits section in Columbus an amount sufficient to cover estimated fees for up
to a six-month period. The deposit should be made by check or money order, made
payable to the treasurer of state, c/o Ohio department of transportation. As
permits are issued, the actual fees will be deducted from the account, with the
current balance accessible through the department's internet based permit
system. The balance in the account will be returned to the depositor along with
a record of fee payments upon request or if the account remains inactive for a
period of six months.
(H)
Requests for the
refunding of permit application processing fees paid pursuant to this rule
shall be made to the director in writing by the person who signed the original
application stating the justification for the refund. Refunds will not be

the application. Refunds will be granted where the department was in error or
where a permit could not be granted for the sole reason that an acceptable
route for the requested movement could not be determined.
