Budget
Crunch Forces Building Permit Increases
In recent months, the City of Jackson implemented
several initiatives in an attempt to bring expenses
in line with declining revenues. Most recently, the
City Council approved an increase in building permit
fees. The increase in these user fees will ease the
burden on all City taxpayers who previously subsidized
a portion of inspection or building permits for which
they received no direct benefit. The cost of the inspection
service will now be the responsibility of the property
owner receiving the service. Previously, the General
Fund heavily subsidized the cost of inspection services.
For example, the General Fund paid the full amount
for an inspection of a premise for a liquor permit.
However, with the recent adoption of the revised permit
schedule, the person receiving the service will be
solely responsible to pay the cost of the inspection.
