Union County - Subject to local approval, changes the building permit fee to fifty cents per square foot on all buildings constructed, erected, or reconstructed. - Amends Chapter 87 of the Private Acts of 1973; as amended.

HB 1430 would change Union County's building permit fee structure from fixed amounts ($225 for residential, $450 for commercial) to 50 cents per square foot for all new construction, including homes and commercial buildings. It exempts sheds and barns from permit requirements and fees, and repeals conflicting fee provisions. This bill directly affects property owners, developers, and contractors in Union County who must pay building permit fees. The bill failed in committee on April 16, 2025, and requires local approval by Union County's legislative body to take effect.
