City Manager

DATE: October 8, 2009
SUBJECT: Proposed Increase of Building Permit Fees
October 15,2009 City Commission Workshop
Staff is recommending an increase in building permit fees to correspond with the
building permit fees implemented by Miami-Dade County in October of last year. The
City's building permit fees were last increased in April of 2000. The minimum permit
fee is proposed to be increased from $100 to $130 to mirror the County fee increase.
Other fees are proposed to be increased by 15% from the 2000 levels, again to mirror
the County fee rate of increase. The proposed fee schedule is attached.
The City's building permit fee schedule was adopted by City Commission in October of
1996. It was amended in March of 1998 to add a fee for hot water heater
replacements. It was further amended in April of 2000 to increase fees to reflect
changes in State and County rules and regulations that had a cost impact on the
building inspection process, to include new required reviews and to include new
services previously not included in the fee schedule.
Staff is also recommending addition of an upfront fee payment to the schedule. This
will provide for payment of 50% of the estimated permit fee upon submission of the
permit application. Currently, the full permit fee is paid on permit issuance. If the
permit is not issued for some reason, the City has incurred all review expenses with no
compensation.
