Board updates solar permit fees to align with commercial building permits
Summary
Mills County supervisors adopted Resolution 25-43 to modify solar-permit fees under the county building-code ordinance, moving away from a prior $10,000 maximum and aligning fees with commercial building permit structures.
The Mills County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 25-43 to modify solar permit fees authorized by the county building-code ordinance.
Speaker 5 introduced the item, noting a prior practice that placed a $10,000 maximum on solar fees. Speaker 3 explained the recommendation to align solar fees with commercial building permits to give supervisors more flexibility in negotiating with larger projects. "At some point in time, the solar fees had been put into a resolution of the maximum amount of $10,000," Speaker 3 said.
Speaker 1 moved to approve Resolution 25-43; a roll call recorded named affirmatives from Rausch, Thayers and Havert. The motion carried and staff will apply the modified fee schedule under the county building-code ordinance going forward.
The transcript does not detail the exact new fee schedule in cents or exact banded amounts; the board asked that the modified structure align with commercial permits and left final vendor negotiation flexibility to supervisors and staff.
