FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
SCOTT WILLIAMS, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR
MEETING DATE: JUNE 18, 2019
SUBJECT: AM19-02 —CHAPTER 7, BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION
RECOMMENDATION:
Council to consider amendments to Chapter 7, Buildings and Construction relative to
building permit fees for residential dwellings, and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
During the most recent State Legislative Session, House Bill 852 was approved,
prohibiting cities from charging building permit fees based on valuation of construction.
This bill even made it illegal for a city to require the valuation to be divulged. Most cities in
Texas currently charge building permit fees based on valuation, and Grapevine is no
exception.
To maintain consistency, staff has looked at residential permits and fees over the last two
years, staff then determined the average fees charged per square foot for the various
types of permits. Using this information, a new fee schedule is proposed that assesses
fees based on square feet of construction rather than valuation. Because many types of
alterations do not translate well to a charge per square foot (such as window
replacements, foundation repair, siding replacement, etc.), staff has developed a flat fee of
$150 for these types of permits. This was the most difficult portion of the proposed fee
schedule to estimate, because of the wide variety of types of remodel permits.
Because the proposed fees are based on recent historical averages, staff does not
anticipate any change in revenue. However, staff will monitor permits and fees, and bring
any changes that are necessary back to City Council. There are no proposed changes to
the non-residential dwelling portions of the fee schedule.
