Council waives $1,329.75 building permit fee for Must Ministries housing rebuild
Summary
Council added and approved an agenda item to waive a $1,329.75 building permit fee for Must Ministries to rebuild a demolished house at 226 Old Donaldson Road, a CDBG-assisted project to house a single mother and two children.
The Canton City Council on Aug. 7 voted to add an item to the agenda and to waive a $1,329.75 building permit fee for Must Ministries’ project at 226 Old Donaldson Road.
City staff and councilmembers said Must Ministries purchased a house that had been in disrepair, demolished a substandard structure and is rebuilding on the site; the nonprofit received $150,000 in CDBG funding and reported an additional $180,000 in project costs beyond that award. Staff noted the city has waived permit fees in the past for nonprofit housing work and council agreed that a fee waiver would help expedite repairs and reduce the nonprofit’s out-of-pocket costs.
Council approved adding the waiver to the agenda by motion and then voted to waive the permit fee for the project so Must Ministries can proceed with permit applications without delay.
