12.10.100 Collection of Charge.
A. The SDC is payable upon:
1. Notification by the City that a building permit is ready for issuance, commencement of any activity for which a building permit is required but not obtained, or commencement of any development that creates the need for or increases the demands on sewer, water, or transportation capital improvements but which does not require a building permit.
2. Issuance of a permit or approval of a development under a land use application not requiring the issuance of a building permit.
3. Issuance of a permit or approval to connect to the water system or actual connection to the water system if a permit is not obtained. For extraterritorial water connections payment is due as described in the agreement for service.
4. Issuance of a permit or approval to connect to the sewer system or actual connection to the sewer system if a permit is not obtained. For extraterritorial sewer connections payment is due as described in the agreement for service.
5. For manufactured home parks or similar development, the SDCs are payable upon issuance of a building permit for construction of the park facilities or commencement of construction or park facilities if no building permit is required or a building permit was required but not obtained, not placement of the manufactured dwelling. For a manufactured home park or similar development developed before July 1, 2024, for which SDCs were not paid prior to placement of a manufactured dwelling, the SDC charge is payable on placement of the manufactured dwelling.
B. If no building, development, or connection permit is required, the system development charge is due at the time the usage of the capital improvement is increased based on changes in the use of the property unrelated to seasonal or ordinary fluctuations in usage.
C. If development is commenced or connection is made to the transportation, water, or sewer system without an appropriate permit, the SDC is immediately payable upon the earliest date that a permit was required, and it is unlawful for anyone to continue with the construction or associated use until the system development charge has been paid. The City may issue a “stop work” order, proceed under a civil infraction enforcement proceeding, or take any other action authorized by law to seek payment of SDCs that are due and have not been paid.
D. SDCs are payable only for those types of improvements affected by the development, permit or connection. For example, a permit to connect an existing structure to the sewer system does not necessarily trigger an obligation to pay water or transportation SDCs.
E. The amount of SDC payable is the amount in effect on the date the SDC first became payable for the development.
F. The City will not issue a permit or approval listed in subsection (A) of this section unless applicable SDCs have been paid or an agreement entered to pay over time as allowed by BC 12.10.110, or an application for deferral of payment has been approved under BC 12.10.105, or the development is exempt from payment of SDCs under BC 12.10.120. The City will not issue a certificate of occupancy or final inspection approval for a structure if SDCs are unpaid, unless an agreement for installment payments is in effect under BC 12.10.110 or the development is exempt from payment of SDCs under BC 12.10.120.
G. Deferral of SDC payments is allowed pursuant to BC 12.10.105, for a period of time not to extend beyond the occupancy date. Deferrals not in compliance with this chapter are not permitted.
H. The City may also collect SDCs payable to the Bend Parks and Recreation District at the time that City SDCs are payable, if so provided by an intergovernmental agreement between the City and the Parks and Recreation District. [Ord. NS-2491, 2024; Ord. NS-2161, 2011]
