Board waives two permit fees to complete Habitat for Humanity subdivision
Summary
Planning staff requested—and the board approved—a waiver of the $471.50 permit fee for each of two remaining Habitat for Humanity homes in a six-lot subdivision, continuing the county’s practice of waiving Habitat permit fees to support affordable housing.
Planning staff told the board that Habitat for Humanity originally requested permit-fee waivers for a six-lot subdivision; four homes have been completed. Staff said the permit-fee waiver for the subdivision had expired, and Habitat requested the fee be waived for the remaining two lots. The building department identified the permit fee as $471.50 per home.
A motion to waive the two permit fees was made and seconded; the board approved the waiver by roll call. Staff said the homes are intended for Middlesex County residents and that waivers for Habitat projects have been a local practice in prior years.
