Building Fees
(one time)
Zone A:
One-time Architectural Review fee: $1,112 – This fee is to be paid for each primary residence, which must be built first.
Primary Residence Construction fee: $2,297 + $1.94/square foot above 1,000 square feet *Note: construction of the Primary Residence must be completed before any other construction.
Additions that increase square footage of a residence – including, but not limited to ADUs, outbuildings, garages, carports, sheds and saunas – must be reviewed by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Construction fee for such structures will be based on square footage at a rate of $1.94/square foot.**
Renovations that affect the outside appearance of a structure must be reviewed by the ACC. Lot owners will be charged the construction fee based on square footage added.
Any construction that is started without ACC approval will be invoiced at double the rate of normal construction fees, with a minimum invoiced amount of $1000.
These fees will increase year-over-year using the Social Security Index, starting in 2022.
*For example, an 800 square foot house would pay $3409: $2297 + $1112 review fee.
-A 1,300 square foot house would pay $3991: $2297 + $1112 review fee + (300*$1.94).
-A 2,000 square foot house would pay $5349: $2297 + $1112 review fee + (1000*$1.94).
**These include structures that have a roof over them (decks & patios that are not covered would not be charged).
-Dormers that do not increase floor space would not increase square footage.
-Initial assessment of square footage is calculated from plans during the application phase and may be verified and adjusted based on measurements of as-built construction.
