North Scott Community School District requests waiver of Scott County building-permit fees for student-built house
Summary
District officials asked the county to waive roughly $1,600 in building inspection and permit fees for a student-built house project in Long Grove, noting the county previously granted relief for a similar project last year.
Greg from the North Scott Community School District asked the board on June 3 to waive the county's reduced building inspection and permit fees for the district's student-built house project in Long Grove. Under the county's usual practice for Long Grove inspections, the district would be charged a reduced 50 percent fee amounting to about $1,600. "That would still amount to roughly $1,600 of fees," Greg said, adding the district received fee relief for last year’s student-built house and is requesting the same for the current project.
Why it matters: The student-built house program is an educational project that relies on local inspections; waiving fees reduces construction costs for the district but also reduces fee revenue for county inspection services.
Greg did not present additional documentation at the committee session and the transcript records no formal vote or decision; the district's request was presented to the board for consideration.
Ending: The item was recorded on the committee agenda for further action at a future board meeting.
