Council corrects building-permit math, adopts 44% discount to align with county benchmark
Summary
Council approved a corrected discount for the building permit fee schedule (44%) after staff identified a calculation error in the prior resolution; the change was adopted with a 6-month revisit provision.
Staff said a previous resolution intended to align Parowan’s permit fees near county rates but used an incorrect valuation matrix and percentage. After recalculation, staff recommended a 44% discount to produce the intended result. Council member Lyle Barton moved to set the discount at 44% and retain the previously scheduled revisit time; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll-call vote.
Staff characterized the change as a technical fix to match the council’s prior intent rather than a policy shift; council asked that the adjustment be reviewed again in six months per the motion.
