Bill > HB1430

This bill modifies the building permit fee structure for Union County, Tennessee by replacing the previous flat-rate fees with a new per-square-foot pricing model. Specifically, the bill changes the existing building permit fees from a fixed rate of $225 for residential construction and $450 for commercial construction to a uniform fee of fifty cents per square foot for all buildings constructed, erected, or reconstructed. The bill includes an exemption for sheds and barns, which will not require a building permit or incur any fee. Additionally, the bill requires approval by a two-thirds vote of the Union County legislative body to take effect, and once approved, the new fee structure will replace any conflicting previous provisions regarding building permit fees. The bill demonstrates a move towards a more standardized and potentially more equitable approach to assessing building permit fees based on the size of the construction project.
