| CHARLOTTE COMMISSIONERS CHANGE FEES |
|
WENGNews writes, "CHARLOTTE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ON TUESDAY VOTED TO CHANGE SEVERAL GROWTH MANAGEMENT FEES FOR THIS YEAR. THERE WAS LITTLE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CHANGES, WHICH WILL AFFECT THE BUILDING INDUSTRY THE MOST. MOST OF THE MAJOR INCREASES, AND THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT, WILL APPLY TO LARGE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENTS, SUCH AS DEVELOPMENTS OF REGIONAL IMPACT. FOR EXAMPLE, IT CURRENTLY COSTS $258 FOR A DEVELOPER TO GET A SUBSTANTIAL DEVIATION FROM A DRI PER UNIT. WITH THE INCREASE, THAT WILL NOW COST $22,000 DOLLARS. THERE WILL BE SOME THAT AFFECT SINGLE FAMILY LOT OWNERS WHO WANT TO PUT IN A BOAT LIFT OR SEA WALLS ON THEIR PROPERTY. FOR EXAMPLE, THE FEE FOR A NEW SEA WALL WAS $22, NOW IT WILL BE $95. THERE ARE A FEW FEES THAT WILL ACTUALLY GO DOWN, INCLUDING ZONING CHARGES FOR POOLS, GARAGES, CARPORTS, SHEDS, AND LANAIS. ALSO, PERMITS FOR NON-HOLIDAY OR SEASONAL SPECIAL EVENT PERMITS WILL ALSO DECLINE FROM $300 TO $110."
