Board adds $3 online-permit fee to recoup vendor charge for electronic permit submissions
Summary
Trustees approved a $3 online-permit fee to cover vendor costs associated with accepting permit applications via the village’s online permitting system; the fee will offset quarterly invoicing from the software vendor.
The Shorewood village board on April 7 approved Resolution 2025-05 to add a $3 online-permit fee to the village fee schedule. The fee is intended to recoup the software vendor’s per-application invoice for online permit submissions.
Staff told trustees the village’s document-management vendor will bill the village $3 per online permit application; adding the same amount to the fee schedule balances the village’s quarterly invoices. The item was a final administrative step in a multi-year effort to enable online permit submissions.
The motion to add the $3 online permit fee passed by roll-call vote (recorded as unanimous in the minutes). Staff will implement the fee and the online permitting workflow with the vendor and return to trustees if additional adjustments are needed.
