Home buyers and builders in Louisburg can waive their building permit fee on the construction of a new home. The City Council continued the waiver incentive through 2023. According to a news release, a homebuilder, on average, can save between $1,200 and $1,500 on permit fees on a 2,000-square-foot home. Building permit fees are based on the assessed value of the home, so savings can vary depending on the home’s value. The builder must be licensed in Miami County to take advantage of the permit fee waiver.
The city has issued 12 single-family housing permits to date in 2022. That’s down from 2021 when 32 permits were issued for new home construction, and down from a surge in 2016 when 48 percent permits were issued. More information can be found at the Louisburg City website or call the city’s Building and Zoning office at City Hall.
