Union County - Subject to local approval, changes the building permit fee to fifty cents per square foot on all buildings constructed, erected, or reconstructed. - Amends Chapter 87 of the Private Acts of 1973; as amended.
HB 1465 changes Union County's building permit fee to $0.50 per square foot for all new construction, reconstruction, or erection of buildings. It directly affects builders and developers in Union County by establishing this flat fee structure, while exempting sheds and barns from charges. The bill repeals conflicting fee provisions in existing law and requires Union County's legislative body to approve the change by a two-thirds vote before it takes effect. If approved, the fee would apply to all qualifying construction projects within the county.
