and performed by the Corporation, less any amount that is expended by the
municipality to make repairs or for cleanup.

The deposit may be used when the depositor does not complete the grading
and drainage work in compliance with the Engineered Grading and Drainage
plan, as approved in accordance with the issuance of a Building Permit. In
such a case, the deposit shall be used in balance against the cost of any work
to grade, drain, seed or sod the lot as necessary to conform to the approved
plan, and the requirements of Building Code.
REFUND OF DEPOSITS
This deposit less any portion expended by the municipality to obtain
compliance will be refunded upon receipt of verification of compliance with the

where applicable; and
-
confirmation of completion of a final inspection by a building
inspector, noting that construction has been fully completed in
compliance with the Act, the Building Code, and in accordance with

FORFEITURE OF DEPOSIT
