Town board adopts revised building permit fee schedule to take effect Dec. 1, 2024

During workshop discussion the board addressed Town Hall exterior lighting and moved to update the building permit fee schedule. Councilman Raymond Legg noted inadequate lighting on the east side of the parking lot and volunteered to meet with an electrician to address the issue. Councilman Dolph Semenza moved to adopt the Building Permit Fee Schedule as submitted, effective Dec. 1, 2024; the motion was seconded by Councilman Legg and passed 5-0.

The minutes include a detailed list of fee-line examples and proposed rates, including increased charges for certificates of occupancy and completion, revised per-square-foot rates for new residential and commercial construction, higher late filing fees, new solar fees, and specific fees for system electrical installations and fire-safety inspections. The minutes present those fee items in tabular/text form but do not include a formal code citation or fee ordinance number; the adopted schedule in the clerk's file will carry the official fee text and numerical table.

Residents and contractors should consult the clerk's adopted fee schedule for exact charges and thresholds; the minutes record the board's approval without additional amendments.
