Legislation Title: AN ORDINANCE relating to the revision of plumbing permit fees;

amending Section 22.504.010 of the Seattle Municipal Code.

 

 

 

Summary of the Legislation:  Proposal to increase base fee for plumbing permit and reduced backflow prevention device permit from $75 to $95 and increase re-inspection fee from $40 to $100.

 

 

 

Background (Include justification for the legislation and funding history, if applicable):  Fee increases are necessary to maintain existing levels of inspection and code enforcement services due to inflationary cost increases.  Fees for plumbing permits were last changed effective January 1, 1998.  Fees for reduced backflow prevention device permits were established effective December 30, 1999.

The same fee changes will be proposed to the Metropolitan King County Council for adoption in King County.

The fee increases would provide an additional $136,455 to support the Health Department’s Plumbing/Gas Piping Inspection program.
