Approve an Ordinance amending Sec. A2.002 (Residential construction permit fees)
within Appendix A (Fee Schedule) of the City of Anna Code of Ordinances. (Director of
Development Services Ross Altobelli)
61111 hfi TIUVA
Staff recently completed a simple market assessment to ensure Anna's fees remain
competitive with neighboring cities while at the same time covering costs associated
with growth and development.
The city currently charges a flat building permit fee of $2,400 per unit (Single Family,
Duplex, Townhouse, Condominium) whereas the neighboring communities of Celina
and Prosper, which face the same development pressures, charge building fees based
on proposed square footage.
Celina:
$1.00 per square foot under roof
Prosper:
a. $1040.30 for the first 1,000 sq ft plus .713 for each additional one sq ft up to and
including 4,900 sq ft
b. $3,824.11 for the first 4,901 sq ft plus .509 for each additonal one sq ft up to and
including 7,999 sq ft
c. $5403.00 for the first 8,000 sq ft plus .30 for each additional one sq ft
The average size for a new single-family residential home in 2020 has been 2,900
square feet. Below are a couple examples of the existing fee comparison between
Anna, Celina, and Prosper in relation to different -sized homes.
2,900 Square feet
- Anna: $2,400
- Celina: $2,900
- Propsper: $2,395
3,250 square feet
- Anna: $2,400
- Celina: $3,250
- Prosper: $2,644.55
3,750 square feet
-Anna: $2,400
- Celina: $3,750
- Prosper: 3,001.05
Based on these assessments, and to ensure the city maintains it's established base line
building permitting fee, staff is recommending modifying the fee structure for structures
over 2,700 square feet to be based on square footage to ensuring taxpayers are not
subsidizing the cost of private development within the City of Anna.
The proposed fee being recommended is $0.90 per square foot for single family,
duplex, townhouse, and condominium units over 2,700 square feet. The building
permit fee for structures 2,700 square feet and below will maintain the existing fee
requirement of $2,400.
Further, staff is recommending that these updated fees go into effect on October 1,
2021. This will allow ample time to notify the development community and time for the
development community to plan for the change in fee structure.
