Residential Fee Code

The Village has a simpler and easier to understand set of permit fees for Residential Permits.   Instead of variable fees based on construction costs, the new fees are organized into flat fee tiers based on the scope of the project.  Some examples are:

• $75 each for fences, roofs and sheds
• $200 (with $100 refundable) for decks, concrete pavement, and simple mechanical, electrical or plumbing projects
• $500 ($150 refundable) for kitchen remodels or to finish a basement
• $750 ($250 refundable) for full interior remodels or fire restorations

In addition to the simplified flat fees, the structure for residential additions and new single family homes have been modified to remove cost of construction as a factor in fees:    

• Additions and New Construction $2 per square feet of new construction, minimum fee of $750, plus a $350 refundable escrow
• Interior remodel associated with an addition, $1 per square foot
