FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mayor Marty Orr wishes to announce that the Wilmington City Council
recently adopted an ordinance to encourage construction of new
residential housing. The City of Wilmington is waiving the collection
of all impact and connection fees for the next thirty (30) approved residential
zoned lots. The fees being waived are the $8,000 water and sewer
connection/tap on fees and $4,600 (estimated) of school, park and
library impact fees. Therefore, the previous building permit fee costs
were $14,000 (estimated).
Now, the building permit costs will
be $1,350 which is a reduction of $12,600 to the costs for construction
of new homes in Wilmington to promote and encourage housing construction
of vacant improved lots.
