Minnehaha County raises overweight/oversize permit fees to reflect rising demand
Summary
The County approved Resolution MC20-70 updating overweight and oversize permit fees: single trip permits remain $22 plus $0.50 per ton/mile for overweight; multiple and annual permits now carry per-ton charges of $9/month and $36/year respectively; fees to deposit into the Highway Fund.
Minnehaha County commissioners on Nov. 24 approved a revised fee schedule for highway overweight and oversize permits to account for higher demand for annual permits. Highway Superintendent DJ Buthe presented the resolution and the Commission approved it by a 5-0 vote.
The new fee schedule in Resolution MC20-70 sets a Single Trip Permit at $22.00 plus $0.50 per ton overweight per mile; Multiple Trip Permits at $22.00 plus $9.00 per ton overweight per month; and Annual Trip Permits at $22.00 plus $36.00 per ton overweight. Over-size only single-trip and annual fees were set at $22 and $66 respectively. All collected fees will be deposited into the County Highway Fund.
Buthe said the Highway Department has seen increases in annual permits versus single-trip permits and recommended the adjustment. The Commission approved the resolution during its routine business session.
