zur Zeit

It's not that this doesn't happen to me (it does haha), but it should definitely put the issue to rest. You'll find the EUR 5.30 charge on p. 2.

Though, whoever wrote this should've been paying more attention. The spelling reform was about two decades ago and this one is actually much easier to figure out if it is written as one word.

There is one exception and that is if you refer to a specific period in time. From my link below:
"Getrennt wird geschrieben, wenn eine bestimmte Zeit gemeint ist: »zur Zeit Goethes« oder »zur Zeit der Ernte«."

However, that's only true if "zur Zeit" isn't the only thing showing up. As said, it's one of those confusing exceptions (and yet, it's not like you don't have these kinds of oddities in English as well).

@Björn
Danke! Ich hatte in der letzten Zeit wenig Glück mit solchen Suchen gehabt und es daher in diesem Fall gar nicht erst versucht ... Und ja, ich hab hier auch gleich "Ordinance" verwendet.

Though, quite frankly, I don't even know why Beatrix is asking this question!

Here is the Satzung über die Erhebung von Gebühren für die Benutzung der Obdachlosenunterkünfte in der Landeshauptstadt Hannover:

It's super easy to find in like a minute. It'll tell you right at the beginning that the law was last changed in 2005(!).

I'm afraid no. Zurzeit means "gegenwärtig": https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/zurzeit

It's one of those rare instances where I don't think there is any pther interpretation. That is why Germans add "damals" for "that point in time":
"Das Vorhaben verstoße gegen § 42 BNatSchG (in der damals gültigen Fassung)."
https://www.bverwg.de/200911B7B46.11.0

Or something like "zum Zeitpunkt":
"Die Teilnahmegebühr versteht sich netto zzgl. der zum Zeitpunkt gültigen gesetzlichen Umsatzsteuer. Rechnungen sind innerhalb von 10 Tagen ab Rechnungsdatum ohne Abzug zur Zahlung fällig."
https://www.holzbau-kompetenz.de/agbs.html

I guess it looks a bit deceptive in this case:
"Bitte fragen Sie nach, ob das Angebot zur Zeit gültig ist!"
https://www.qkom.de/nicht-aergern-tauschen/

It does mean that you should ask whether the offer still stands (at the time you're asking). But it basically means you should please make sure the offer is still available (now).

Re: "at this point in time"
Could it also mean "at that point in time"? (in der zur maßgebenden Zeit geltenden Fassung)

"So does this mean the request for payment will be based on 2016 fees and not on the 2015 fees when the service was rendered?"

The "Satzung" was the same in 2015 and 2016, which is why they can say that. Does this answer your question?

"...in der zur Zeit..." always means at this point in time. The phrase "zur Zeit" is the old spelling of "zurzeit":
https://www.korrekturen.de/beliebte_fehler/zur_zeit.shtml

In effect or in operation might work too:
"Members are asked to instruct the Head of Legal and Democratic
Services to undertake the processes necessary to enact the
suspension of the byelaw, currently in operation, of the existing
Aberdeen City Council Drinking in Public Places Byelaw 2009 within
the boundaries of the Duthie Park for the following event"
https://committees.aberdeencity.gov.uk/documents/s24773/Rela...

PS
Though I certainly prefer "form" over "version." Also, I'm not sure statute is quite right; should be either by(e)laws or ordinance.
