PUBLIC NOTICE

EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2010

As part of the Towns’ efforts to expedite permitting services, the Town now requires an estimated plan review fee to be paid at the time of initial application for most permit types*. The fee(s) will be based on the applicant’s stated valuation, and if applicable, the number of civil engineering related plan sheets as listed in the checklist for a commercial submittal. 

Plan review fee(s) will be finalized at the completion of first review with any balance due collected at that time and any credit applied to the final cost.

NOTE: Sign permit applicants will be required to pay the permit fee at the time of initial application.


*Exempt from pre-paid plan review fees are the following application types:

·         Swimming pools & spas
·         Standardized single family home
·         Miscellaneous electrical, plumbing, and mechanical
·         Traffic control
·         “Within 2 business days” Certificate of Occupancy 

Applicable fees can be paid in cash or check.


The following codes are effective January 1, 2008

Please contact your building plans examiner regarding current submittals.
