Duluth staff recommend removing residential roofing and siding permit requirements
Summary
Planning Director Forrest Huffman proposed removing the city's residential roofing and siding permits and associated fees to align with surrounding jurisdictions and reduce burden on homeowners; staff will place the change on the council agenda for approval.
Planning Director Forrest Huffman told the council that the city's Permit Fee Schedule is periodically reviewed to ensure fair and competitive permit rates. Huffman said residential roofing and siding permits are not required by all surrounding jurisdictions and that maintaining the permits may cause an undue burden for homeowners and code compliance staff.
He recommended removing the fees and the permit requirement for residential roofing and siding. Council authorized staff to make the change and place the amendment to the Permit Fee Schedule on the next council agenda for formal approval.
