[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town of Woodbury as indicated in
article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 9-26-2005, effective
10-17-2005 (Ch. 8, Art. II, § 8-17, of the Town
Code)]
Pursuant to the provisions of C.G.S. § 8-1c, there
is hereby established a fee schedule for all permit applications filed
for permits in accordance with municipal authority adopted pursuant
to Connecticut General Statutes Chapter 124, 125a, 126, 126a, or 440
as prescribed by this article.
In accordance with C.G.S. § 8-3(f), no building permit
or certificate of occupancy shall be issued for a building, use, or
structure subject to Town of Woodbury Zoning, Subdivision, Inland
Wetlands and Watercourses, or Historic District Regulations until
the fees for the required permit applications and certificates of
compliance, as prescribed in this article and in the fee schedule
adopted pursuant to this article, shall have been paid to the Land
Use Office or other municipal agent.
The payment of the fees for the permit applications prescribed
herein shall not relieve the applicant or holder of the permit from
the payment of other fees that may be prescribed by law or ordinance,
including but not limited to building permits and filing fees, if
applicable.
No fee shall be charged for zoning applications for projects
by or for the Town of Woodbury or for permits for repair or replacement
of owner-occupied single-family residential buildings that have been
destroyed or damaged by fire, storm, or other casualty.
The Land Use Director, Town Planner, or other authorized municipal
agent, with the approval of the Zoning Commission, Zoning Board of
Appeals, Planning Commission, Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency,
and Historic District Commission, respectively, is hereby authorized
to, and shall, establish a schedule of fees for review of residential
and commercial zoning permits, site plan review, special permits,
special exceptions, changes of use, certificates of use and compliance,
requests for variance, appeals of a ruling of the Zoning Enforcement
Officer, certificates of appropriateness, inland wetlands and watercourses
permits, subdivision approval, and all other permit applications.
Said fee schedule, as may be amended from time to time, is hereby
incorporated in this article as though fully set forth herein. The
fee schedule shall be determined to reasonably defray the municipal
costs of administering the applicable regulations adopted by any Woodbury
board, commission or agency in accordance with Chapter 124, 125a,
126, 126a, or 440 of the Connecticut General Statutes and publishing
the public hearings and decisions of the regulatory board, commission,
or agency. The fee schedule shall also be determined to reasonably
defray the municipal costs of conducting specialized technical reviews
and inspection and monitoring of approved activities and construction
by engineers, surveyors, architects, planners, attorneys, and other
qualified professionals hired by the Town of Woodbury for such purpose,
which such fees shall be estimated by the Woodbury Land Use Office
and assessed to any applicant. The applicant shall be invoiced for
any such expenses exceeding the fee paid or shall be reimbursed any
fee paid in excess of the actual costs of such technical review or
inspection and monitoring. All fees established pursuant to this article
shall be reviewed annually by the Land Use Director or Town Planner
or other authorized municipal agent and amended if deemed necessary
or desirable with the approval of the respective board, commission,
or agency.
[Amended 5-21-2018]
Pursuant to C.G.S. § 22a-27j, all applications are
subject to an additional state fee of $60 or such other amount as
may be established by the State of Connecticut.
The Land Use Director, Town Planner, or other authorized municipal
agent shall keep an accurate account of all fees collected, and such
collected fees shall be deposited with the Treasurer of the Town of
Woodbury.
A copy of the fee schedule shall be filed with the Woodbury
Town Clerk when established and when amended.
