Board adopts ordinance updates for building-code appeals, sets application fee
Summary
Supervisors adopted amendments to Charlotte County Code Chapter 18 clarifying selection, terms and fees for the building code appeals board and established a $300 application fee; the motion carried on roll call.
The Charlotte County Board of Supervisors voted to amend Chapter 18 of the county code to add clarity to the building-code appeals process, including member selection, terms and vacancies, compensation and a new $300 application fee.
County staff presented proposed language to clarify Section 18‑334 and related procedures. The amendments set a uniform fee structure for appeals and specified compensation for board members (the staff packet cited a comparison to planning and zoning boards). Staff said the changes were necessary to comply with state code and to standardize procedures.
A motion to adopt the ordinance passed after a roll-call vote. The board also discussed that appointments to the appeals board would be made at a later meeting because supervisors wanted more time to consider nominees from their districts.
The ordinance establishes the $300 application fee for a building‑code appeals hearing; staff said the fee is intended to cover member compensation and administrative costs. The board instructed staff to prepare appointment procedures and return with member nominations at a future meeting.
