At the Adairville City Council meeting on March 14, a recommendation was also made to increase the costs of building permits within the city.
Currently, new residences have a building permit charge of $25. The city wants to increase it to $100 for up to 1,600 square feet. Any building over 1,600 square feet would be $150. For an addition to an existing residence, the permit currently costs $15. The increase would make the permit cost $50. The same would hold true for a garage building permit. It is currently $15 and would go up to $50.
There must be two Ordinance readings concerning these increases before it is approved.
