Roanoke council adopts updated building‑permit fee schedule

The Roanoke Town Council voted to adopt Ordinance 2026‑04, updating building and zoning permit fees that staff said have not been reviewed in years. Kim, who presented the proposal, told the council that "the building fees haven't been updated since '04 and the zoning fees have not been updated since '09," and that a new state house bill will limit jurisdictions' ability to renew fees for five years once it takes effect.
