Title
Application Fees and Fees per Square Foot - Ordinance
History
See case 2024-0294.
The Committee of the Whole has reviewed the proposed Village Code text amendments for application fees and fees per square foot.
The purpose of the ordinance is to update the Village Code to implement of an application fee for all permit requests, and transition to a fee calculation for single family residential homes based on building square footage rather than our current system, which is a combination of fees per fixture, outlet, pipe diameter, etc.
The proposed application fee is $95.00, to be collected at the time of application.
The proposed per square foot (SF) fee for new construction and additions to single family attached and single family detached building permits:
2,000 SF or less: $1.70/SF
2,001 SF or more: $0.50/SF (for each additional square foot greater than 2,000 SF)
On October 7, 2024, this item was reviewed and approved by the Committee of the Whole and referred to the Board for approval.
Original Motion
I move to adopt an Ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 5 (BUILDING), CHAPTER 2 (BUILDING PERMITS AND FEES), OF THE ORLAND PARK VILLAGE CODE REGARDING APPLICATION AND BUILDING PERMIT FEES FOR THE VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK
This item was tabled on the same night at the Committee of the Whole. As a result, the item was not discussed at the Board meeting.
Financial Impact
The goal is to cover staff review, processing, and inspection costs, while also reducing fee calculation time by staff.
