[Adopted 7-6-2021]
Notwithstanding the provisions of any other ordinance of the
City of Taunton, the Municipal Council shall have the authority, in
its discretion, to waive any fee or charge of the City or any of its
departments, the amount of which is fixed by ordinance, upon a determination
by the Municipal Council that the public interest so requires. This
provision shall not be construed to authorize the waiver of any fee
that is fixed by state law, and shall not require or constrain the
Municipal Council to consider or to grant any fee waiver request.
The City of Taunton shall be exempt from all fees established
under the ordinances of the City. Any person engaged in the construction,
repair or alteration of a municipal building shall be exempt from
the requirement to pay a fee for a building permit, inspection, connection
to water or sewer utilities, or other similar fee or charge.
The Municipal Council shall have the authority, in its discretion,
to grant waivers or credits toward City fees and charges in consideration
of the public benefit of municipal infrastructure or public improvements
that are installed, upgraded, repaired, removed or replaced by any
person in undertaking a private construction project. Such waiver
or credit may not exceed the estimated expense to the City that is
avoided as a result of the municipal infrastructure or public improvement
that is installed, upgraded, repaired, removed or replaced.
