Commissioners adopt new building‑department fee schedule after split vote
Summary
The board adopted a revised fee schedule for the Portage County Building Department and floodplain administration covering permits, contractor registration and inspection fees; the roll call shows at least one dissenting vote before the measure passed.
The Portage County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt a new fee schedule for the Building Department and floodplain administration covering building permits, contractor registrations and inspection fees.
A commissioner moved to adopt the revised fee schedule and a colleague seconded the motion. During the roll call sequence the record shows at least one ‘‘No’’ vote before the motion carried on the board’s votes.
County staff had earlier reviewed permit fee comparables and rounded small amounts to whole dollars as requested by a commissioner. The change aims to update fees to reflect higher operating costs in the department. The board directed staff to implement the new schedule after the vote.
