§ 50-127. Annual and semiannual periods; application; fees; assignment; replacement.

(a)

An annual parking permit shall be valid for the period from January 1 through December 31 of the year of issuance. A semiannual parking permit shall be valid for the period from January 1 through June 30, or July 1 through December 31 of the year of issuance.

(b)

An annual or a semiannual parking permit may be issued only by the city; such permits may not be issued by licensees or mobile home dealers.

(c)

Application for an annual parking permit or a semiannual parking permit shall be made to the building official.

(d)

A cash fee set by resolution and printed in Appendix D to this Code shall be paid for an annual parking permit and no proration shall be allowed for an elapsed period of time in the year of issuance. A cash fee set by resolution and printed in Appendix D to this Code shall be paid for a semiannual parking permit.

(e)

Applications for parking permits may be made by mail to the building official.

(f)

If the mobile home stays within the city less than one month, a refund of the parking permit may be made for all but an amount to be set by resolution and printed in Appendix D to this Code of the semiannual or annual fees paid. If the period of time is more than one month but less than six months, the city shall, upon request, refund an amount to be set by resolution and printed in Appendix D to this Code of any annual fee paid.

(g)

A parking permit may be assigned in connection with the sale, lease or renting of a mobile home or travel trailer or a permit holder may transfer a parking permit from one vehicle to another. Application for such assignment or transfer shall be made to the building official who shall furnish the necessary forms. A service charge set by resolution and printed in Appendix D to this Code will be made for each transfer or assignment. This provision is not to be construed as requiring an assignment of a parking permit from the seller in whose name the parking permit has been issued to the purchaser, provided the seller has delivered to the purchaser his receipt for such parking permit.

(h)

If the building official is furnished satisfactory proof that a parking permit which has been issued has been lost, destroyed or defaced, he may issue a replacement permit for the unexpired term of such permit upon payment of a service charge set by resolution and printed in Appendix D to this Code. The building official may prescribe such forms and requirements as he may from time to time find necessary to ensure that no replacement parking permit is improperly issued.
