Northport Building Permit Fees Increased
Base fee now required for residential and commercial permits.
The Northport Board of Trustees voted to increase building permit fees following a public hearing on Tuesday.
An annual fee for towing companies operating in
the village was also approved, as was an increase in street opening permit fees.
Building Inspector Loary Gunn said Northport's permit fee schedule, not previously updated in at least 10 years, will now be competitive. Its structure will more closely mirror that of surrounding municipalities.
