Court removes recurring $100 RV permit renewal fee in special flood‑hazard areas
Summary
Chambers County voted to remove a $100 every‑six‑months renewal fee for RVs located in special flood‑hazard areas, retaining inspection responsibilities while eliminating what staff called an unnecessary administrative burden.
The county’s floodplain administrator proposed eliminating the recurring $100 renewal fee for RV permits located in special flood‑hazard areas, saying the inspection workload did not justify the six‑month renewal fee and that inspections and road‑readiness checks would continue.
"We’ve had... for an RV that's in the flood plain... you initially pay a $150 permit... Every 6 months, you have to renew this, and we've added a $100 fee to that for that renewal," the administrator said, explaining that the county will continue physically inspecting RVs in the special flood‑hazard area but recommended removing the periodic fee because it was an unnecessary administrative burden. Commissioners approved the motion to remove the renewal fee.
