Title
AN ACT CONCERNING THE BUILDING CODE for the purpose of extending the permit application time from six (6) months to twelve (12) months and to establish a fee for the review and issuance of an After-Hours Permit.
Background
The purpose of this Bill is to extend the permit application time from six (6) months to twelve (12) months and to establish a fee for review and issuance of an After-Hours Permit. The change from six (6) months to twelve (12) months will decrease in the waiver requests submitted to DPIE. This change was proposed in response to the industry’s challenges regarding permitting. There will not be negative impact on DPIE’s permitting revenue. The proposed fee of $60.00 plus the 5% technology fee is in alignment with other permitting fees.
