Building Fee Policy
History
Village code requires the payment of building, planning and impact fees for all newly constructed or renovated buildings in Orland Park. The code does not distinguish between types of uses or tax-exempt status (nonprofits, governmental entities, etc.) The authority to waive fees rests with the Board of Trustees. As such, staff is recommending that a fee waiver policy be set by the Board. The fee waiver policy would apply only to other governmental entities, such as the Fire District, Township, or School Districts.
The fee waivers would apply to the Village’s typical building inspection/plan review charges including:
• Plan Review
• Building/Construction Permits
• Inspection Fees (electrical, plumbing, mechanical, health)
• Zoning & Certificate of Occupancy
Fees would not be waived for water connections, meters, or development impact fees.
On March 23, 2009 the Development Services and Planning Committee moved to recommend to the Village Board of Trustees approval of the proposed fee waiver policy for building inspection/plan review, as outlined.
This is now before the Village Board for consideration.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve of the proposed fee waiver policy for building inspection/plan review, as outlined.
