Council reauthorizes building permit fees to comply with state law; some fees moved to square‑foot basis
Summary
The council reauthorized the city's building permit fee schedule to address automatic expirations under House Bills 1922 and 2024 and updated fee language to use square-foot measures rather than valuation for certain commercial fees.
City staff presented an ordinance to update and reauthorize the building permit fee schedule for FY2025, noting changes required by state legislation. Caleb Kettner told council that House Bills 1922 and 2024 require cities to reauthorize fees that otherwise expire after 10 years and that some fees were converted from valuation-based to square-foot measures to comply with the change in state law.
Kettner also noted and explained a formatting correction in Exhibit A regarding minimum permit fees and inspections. The council opened the public hearing on the ordinance, heard no public speakers on the item, and then reauthorized the fees by motion and vote.
