Detailed Summary
Good evening, everyone. I’m here to share some important updates regarding our fee schedule and bond requirements that will take effect on July 1, 2025. This is crucial information for anyone involved in construction or public infrastructure projects in our town, so please take note. Starting next July, we will see adjustments to various fees. For instance, the construction plan review fee for subdivisions will be $700 plus $10 per lot, while utility extensions will be $700 plus $15 per sheet. There are also specific fees for sewer and water permit applications, as well as inspection fees that cover everything from water lines to sidewalks. I encourage you to review the detailed fee structure on our town website to ensure you’re prepared for these changes. Additionally, if you’re involved in bonding for public infrastructure, it’s essential to know that all bond estimates must be submitted using our Infrastructure Bond Worksheet. We have specific forms and procedures that need to be followed, and I recommend reaching out to our Development Services Manager, Christine Masney, for any questions. For landscaping performance bond inquiries, Joe Curtin is your go-to person. Let’s work together to make sure we’re all informed and ready for the upcoming changes. Thank you!
