South Bend, Indiana 46601
RE: Amendment to Chapter 6 of the South Bend Municipal Code
Dear Council Members:
The attached ordinance amends Chapter 6 of the South Bend
Municipal Code entitled "Buildings. " The amendments increase
many of the permit fees charged for construction work. The
amendments to Section II (3) and (4) adopt the 1985 State Codes
for Plumbing and Mechanical Work. Section VII adopts amendments
to the State Enforcement of Building Standards Law (The Unsafe
Building Law) . The amendments were adopted by the State
Legislature in an attempt to further strengthen the Code
Enforcement hearing process and the enforcement standards for unsafe
properties.
The permit fees have not been changed since 1982 . The increases
reflect the increased cost of inspection services and have been
increased an average of 25%. The rationale for changing the
fees 25% was based on increased material and labor costs of 6%
per year since 1982. This is a moderate increase when we consider
the additional cost to the City of providing inspection services
for new construction and rehabilitation projects. If Code Enforcement
were to attempt to recover the full cost to the City for eight
building inspectors, the increase in permit fees would have been 85%.
These proposed changes in the permit fees attempt to more realistically
reflect the cost of the building inspectors services which are performed
in order to assure that construction work is completed according to the
codes and to insure that all health and safety regulations are followed.

Council 'Members - 2 - October 6, 1986
