Building Permit Cost Voted to Encourage Solar Panel Installation
Summit Daily News reports Senate backed a bill to keep building permit costs to no more than $300 for residential solar energy projects and no more than $1,000 for commercial projects. While Denver, CO currently charges only $59 for a permit, other surrounding cities are charging as much as $1,300. This figure is discouraging to homeowners as it takes them an average of 12 years to see any savings from their efforts. Counties would have to cut budgets in other areas for this bill to come to fruition.
