Town Council Adopts Permit Waiver for Crumbling Foundations
At the Novermber 8, 2016 Town Council meeting a resolution to approve the amendment to Tolland Code Section A173-4 (L) waiving building permit fees for work on Crumbling Foundations was passed. The waiver reads as follows:
The Building Official is authorized to waive all Town fees related to building permits for work on crumbling foundations. The waiver shall not apply to any fee required to be charged by the State of Connecticut. At the discretion of the Building Official the waiver may include fees for electrical, plumbing or other building fees.
The waiver only applies to work for the direct replacement for the existing foundation. At the discretion of the Building Official, the fees may be waived for permits for other related work required to restore the structure to its previously permitted condition.
Upon waiver of the fee, the Building Official shall notify the homeowner in writing that the fee has been waived including the amount of all fees waived.
This waiver provision shall be effective December 1, 2016. Work that has commenced but not been completed prior to this effective date may be eligible for a refund of said fees.
