Brunswick and ail other t
counties and municipalities not e
already doing so to begin enforcing
all volumes of the state building
code. For Brunswick that meant
creation of an inspections office and
adoption of building construction,
plumbing and mobile home codes.
The county, in addition, has adopted
the fire protection code, a flood control
ordinance and a wind-resistance
code for coastal construction. Structures
existing as of July 1 will be
"grandfathered," that is, not
covered by these requirements. i

And Harvey also suggested the <
oard might not want to adopt <
nother item in the schedule which |
rould exempt "true farmers" from >
aying fees for construction of bona
ide farm buildings other than (
esidences. i
The item was included, he said, |
>ecause "I've heard more concerns t
ixpressed by the rural community, |
he true farmers, than anyone else."
But, he added, "I know of no counies
that exempt farm buildings."
Whether the person is a "true
armer" and the building for "bona
ide" farm use would be determined
>ased on whether farming is the iniividual's
source of income and the
lse of the building to produce farm
ncome.
For non-farm buildings, a basic
auilding construction permit, which
ncludes insulation, will cost from $10
>n up, depending upon the value of
die structure to be built. The permits
apply to new construction and also to
emodeling or renovations that affect
ioad-bearing walls and the like.
A structure valued at $501 to $1,000,
for instance, would cost $10, while the
permit for a $20,000 to $30,000 strueDf

and $10 per square foot for uncovered
space such as decks, slabs, patios
and swimming pools. There would be
no charge for construction valued at
less than $500. And while many
governments charge the same fees
for structures to be relocated,
Harvey proposes allowing the tax
supervisor's office to determine the
values of those structures.
As a way of encouraging people to
get permits, the proposed schedule
recommends doubling the fees if construction
is started before a permit is
obtained.
Other permits required and the
proposed costs are as follows:
Tank fees for combustible or
flammable liquids such as gasoline,
fuel oil and diesel fuel, $15 for a
4,000-gallon tank or smaller and $2
for each gallcn over 4,000. This a new
tee tor an inspection mandated oy tne
fire protection code.
Heating System fees, based on
British Thermal Units (BTU) input.
Cost would range from $10 for input
up to 110,000 BTU to $25 plus $2 for
each 100,000 or fraction over 600,000

up a monthly billing system for
1 large-volume applicants such as major
developers, mobile home park
J owners and the like to reduce the in1
convenience of having to come to the
) complex frequently to pay fees.
This practice would allow payment
r after the permit is received. The
d practice in most large cities and
3 counties, he added, is "cash on the
il barrel."
Until experience shows what ind
dividuals or companies qualify for

Grace Beasley suggested init

ir money until their permit volume is
established,
st Chairman Chris Chappell told
n Harvey he favors the billing system
t- because it would "reduce the
