Fishkill board flags inconsistencies in building permit fee schedule; will amend fee sheet

Oct 6, 2026

Staff and the board identified mismatches between the village code and the adopted fee schedule — notably shed permit thresholds (code exempts up to 144 sq ft, fee sheet lists permit up to 400 sq ft) and unclear roof/retroactive fee language — and agreed to have staff prepare a resolution to amend the fee sheet.

The full story

The board spent an extended portion of the meeting reviewing the village building-permit fee schedule against the village code. A staff reviewer noted that village code exempts one-story detached storage sheds with gross floor area not exceeding 144 square feet, but the fee schedule currently lists a storage-shed permit for units "up to 400 square feet" with a $75 fee.
