AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a resolution by the Monroe County Board of County
Commissioners amending the Building Department Fee Schedule to apply permit application fees to
total permit cost; add "or equal" to clause in technology document fee; clarifying trimming, removal,
landscaping and land clearing/grubbing application and permit fees; removing ATF 100% fee.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Resolution 143-2012 was approved on May 16, 2012 implemented the
cost of providing services associated with the building permitting and inspection system through a fee
schedule. This resolution inadvertently omitted a clause providing for credit of application fee to fees
due at issuance. Additionally, the resolution needs clarification on environmental
trimming/landscaping permit application fees. The proposed resolution also clarifies the Technology
and Document processing fee to define fee amount due when a permit is exactly $500, by adding the
clause "or equal to". Lastly, removing the ATF 100% fee for procedural clarifications.
