a. The Water and Sewers Director shall collect the fees required by this chapter, for developments located within the City of Phoenix, beginning with permits issued on and after December 1, 1982. Any building permits issued before December 1, 1982, will not require as a condition precedent to the issuance of that building permit payment of the water residential development occupational fee. If a building permit is issued before December 1, 1982, and construction does not commence (the commencement of construction is considered to be the placement of the footings for the building) prior to the expiration of the building permit, any subsequently issued, reinstated or extended building permit will require that the developer or user pay the residential development occupational fee as a condition precedent to the issuance, reinstatement or extension of the building permit.

b. For developments located outside the City of Phoenix, the Water and Sewers Director shall collect the fee which is required by this chapter to be collected beginning with water connections made on or after December 1, 1982. (Ord. No. G-2367, § 1)
