The Sedgwick County Commission recently voted to reduce our building permit fees for agricultural buildings in the county. The fee changes amounted to a 33-67% reduction from previous charges. This is an initiative led by County Commissioner Richard Ranzau as a result of phone calls from a constituent and Senator Carolyn McGinn.
Old rates: 38 cents per square foot for finished space and 30 cents per square foot for unfinished space
New rates: 25 cents per square foot for finished space and 20 cents per square foot for unfinished space up to 5,000 square feet and then 10 cents per square foot thereafter.
