Calculating whether to add a planning fee

You can use an AddOnCondition formula to calculate whether a fee is added to an application. For example, you could write a formula that adds an extra fee to any rezoning application that affects an area greater than 1 square mile.

AddOnCondition formulas use the oPlanningApp object (an instance of the Hansen.CDR.Planning.iPlanningApplication class) to set AddOnCondition to either True or False.

You can also use properties and methods of the Fee object in your formula. For example, you might want to specify the fee types that the formula applies to. To access fee properties, select the Fee node under PlanningSignature in the Methods and Properties tree. You must also use the AssociatedRecordType node to indicate the type of record (AssociatedRecordType.Fee).

Examples

This formula adds an item if the declared value recorded in the application is greater than $250,000:

AddOnCondition = False
If (oPlanningApp.DeclaredValuation > 250000) Then
  AddOnCondition = True
End If

This formula adds an item if the application is for commercial construction:

AddOnCondition = False
If (oPlanningApp.OccupancyType.Code.ToUpper = "COMMERCIAL") Then
  AddOnCondition = True
End If

This formula adds an item if the application is for a remodel:

AddOnCondition = False
If (oPlanningApp.WorkType.Code.ToUpper = "REMODEL") Then
  AddOnCondition = True
End if
