Bill > SB1448

This bill modifies the building permit fee structure for Union County by changing the previous fixed-fee system to a per-square-foot pricing model. Specifically, the bill establishes that the County Assessor of Properties will now charge fifty cents ($0.50) per square foot for all buildings constructed, erected, or reconstructed, replacing the prior flat rates of $225 for residential construction and $450 for commercial construction. The bill includes two additional provisions: first, no building permit or fee will be required for sheds or barns, and second, any previous conflicting building permit fee regulations are repealed. The bill will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of the Union County legislative body, and once approved, the county's presiding officer must certify this to the secretary of state. This change gives the county more flexibility in assessing building permit fees and potentially provides a more proportional fee structure based on the size of construction projects.
