The obligation for payment of the emergency medical system impact fees shall run with the land.

In the event that a building permit issued for any emergency medical system impact construction expires prior to completion of the construction for which it was issued, the applicant may, within 90 days of the expiration of the building permit, apply for a refund of the emergency medical system impact fee.
