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.

SB 1448 changes Union County's building permit fees from fixed amounts to a flat rate of 50 cents per square foot for all new construction, reconstruction, or erection of buildings. It replaces the previous $225 flat fee for residential projects and $450 for commercial projects. The bill exempts small structures like sheds and barns from fees and repeals conflicting fee provisions. This directly affects homeowners, contractors, and developers seeking building permits in Union County for new construction projects.
