St. Pete Seeks Streamlined Permitting Fee Waivers After Disasters
The city of St. Petersburg is considering an ordinance to allow the city building official to waive certain fees for Post Disaster Emergency Permits (PDEP) even after a state of emergency expires.
After Hurricanes Helene and Milton last year, the city waived certain permitting fees for residents repairing damaged property under a declared state of emergency.
Mayor Ken Welch's administration now wants to make those waivers an option even when the declared emergency is over.
- The proposed ordinance would amend Chapter 12 of the City Code.
- The measure is expected to be supportive by the City Council as an effort to promote storm recovery.
No specific quotes are available in the given text, but the city's intention is clear.
The City Council will consider the ordinance on Thursday, and it will require additional approval if successful.
