WORKSHOP - PROPOSED PERMIT FEES INCREASE
Staff recommends Council consider amendments to Chapter 7 of the Grapevine Code of
Ordinances relating to permit fees, take any necessary action, and authorize a public
hearing for adoption of same.
BACKGROUND:
The Building Department has not had an increase in Building Permit Fees since 1987. A
list of hypothetical projects with comparative fee data, as well as a cross section of real
projects that were recently built, are attached as examples. The City of Grapevine
building permit fees are lower than those assessed by neighboring cities.
Staff proposes adoption of the fee schedule from the 1994 Uniform Building Code. In
most cases the plan review and building permit fee would be approximately double the
amount of our current fees.
In order to avoid an applicant's attempt to use lower than actual project valuations, the
Staff also proposes use of 'Building Standards' tables. The publisher of the building
code, International Conference of Building Officials, publishes a periodical called
"Building Standards". This periodical has tables based on regional empirical
construction costs. In order to assess uniform fees, it is proposed to assign the
published project valuation from "Building Standards" if it is higher than the claimed
valuation.
The proposal also includes an increase in Certificate of Occupancy fees from $25.00 to
$50.00. Since Certificates of Occupancy involve a great deal of Staff time, the new fee
is justified. Fence permits would be raised from $10.00 to $21.00.
Staff is often asked to release `partial permits' or 'foundation only' permits for projects.
These are usually released prior to full permit approval (often before full plan submittal),
in order to facilitate the customers' project needs. However, the partial permits add time
and paperwork to the normal process. A 10% fee for early releases or partial permits is
proposed to recover the added cost.
June 14, 2001 (8:57AM)
Lastly, our current mechanical and plumbing fee schedules are very difficult and time
consuming to use for Staff, and more importantly, our customers. We are proposing a
fee schedule based on project square footage for new projects and additions. We have
historically calculated only the electrical permit fee using this approach.
Alterations and small `simple trade permits' will use a revised fee schedule based on the
contract amount for the work to be done. The new fees will also make the cost the same
for plumbing, mechanical, and electrical contractors. It is anticipated that overall fees for
mechanical, electrical, and plumbing permits will increase approximately 14% with the
new fees.
Staff recommends approval.
