December 2022 Plan Check and Permit Revenues 

The City issued 170 building permits and received $90,589 in permit and plan check fees in December, the highest number of permits issued in a December since 2015.  Total revenues for the first half of the fiscal year hit $761,050.  At the beginning of the fiscal year, the revenue estimate for FY 2022/23 was $1.2 million, so permit activity to date is better than expected.
