Summary

Chaffee County commissioners approved a motion to waive about $1,700 in building- and planning-permit fees for a Habitat for Humanity single-family dwelling on County Road 198, supporting the nonprofit’s upcoming construction schedule.

Chaffee County commissioners approved a fee-waiver request from Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity for a single-family home at 11244 County Road 198.

Dale Schumacher, a volunteer with Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity, told the board the fee package for the next build totaled $1,367 for the building permit plus a $320 land-use application fee, and the group was asking that the county waive roughly $1,700 to support a planned March start. “We are actively building to come and ask for your support and waiving the build fees,” Schumacher said.

Commissioners discussed the request briefly and approved the motion to waive the fees. The county clerk provided the building permit following the board’s approval.

No additional conditions or funding were attached to the waiver in the meeting record.
