SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Minnehaha County Planner Scott Anderson is proposing an increase in the building permit fee by three-and-a-half percent.
Anderson used a 1,500 square foot house, with attached garage and unfinished basement as an example.
Anderson says the proposed valuation would increase to about $195,000, which would result in the increase of a building permit fee of $26.76.
If the County Commission approves the increase next week it would take effect September first.
The increase does not apply to commercial or agricultural buildings.
