Morrison decision puts fees into spotlight
Local building permit fees vary widely, depending on formula
MORRISON – The city of Morrison could have used the more than $37,000 that Resthave Nursing and Retirement Home was assessed in building permit fees for its new expansion.
Council member Sarah Thorndike says streets need to be repaired and the sewer system needs work.
But the council voted 6-2 last month to waive the $37,535 fee for nonprofit Resthave’s $7.5 million expansion. That fee includes a $35 basic charge, plus $5 per $1,000 of project value.
