Cohousing-L Mailing List: Permitting Fees

[Marty Maskall (mmaskall]

Hi Sharon & all,

Yes, they were permitting fees.  We also had to pay an affordable housing
fee.  As I recall, it was $2.50 per square foot of our community of 30
homes, counting the Common House.  All these fees certainly add up.
