In addition, on Oct. 20th, as part of its adoption of revised Building fees, and consistent with the City’s Climate Action Plan, Council agreed to reduce the Building fee for single-family residential solar installations from $164.00 to $77.00. This approximately 53% fee reduction is intended to serve as an incentive to advance an important City initiative. The new fee goes into effect on December 20, 2015.
