Committee approves code change tripling retroactive electrical permit fee
Summary
The committee approved amending Wausau Municipal Code section 18.05.06 to triple the fee for working without an electrical permit and to require retroactive permit fees at the higher rate.
The Wausau Public Health and Safety Committee on Sept. 15 approved an amendment to Wausau Municipal Code section 18.05.06 that increases the penalty for working without an electrical permit by changing the retroactive fee from double to triple the standard permit amount.
Committee members described the change as a housekeeping update to clarify penalties for retroactive permit issuance. The motion to approve the adjustment was made by Watson and seconded by Lukens and carried on a voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The change will be processed through the city’s legislative steps for ordinance amendments and reflected in permit fee schedules; staff said the intent is to encourage compliance with permit requirements and to streamline retroactive‑permit administration.
The committee placed the amendment on file following approval.
