The Building Industry Association (BIA) has been advised of this propsoal. To
lessen the impact of this fee increase, the up-front application fees which
support approximately half the costs will not be affected; the back-end fee
collected at the Building Permit issuance will be increased thereby from the
present level of loo to 300. By increasing the back-end fee, the developer will
be paying associated fees based only on that which has passed through the public
hearings and such fees will be collected as building permits are required for
sections or stages of large developments when constructed.
IMPACT OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Fees would remain at their current level thereby requiring the current level of
County funds for these activities.
