AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
INDIANA,
AMENDING OF CHAPTER 6, ARTICLE 4, SECTION 6 -10 (d)(2) OF THE SOUTH
BENDMUNICIPAL CODEADDRESSING PLUMBING EXCAVATOR FEES
CHARGED BY THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
Recently, on October 26, 2015, the South Bend Common Council enacted Ordinance No.
10394 -15 (Bill No. 67 -15) which adjusted various permit and contractor registration fees charged by
the consolidated Building Department of the City of South Bend and St. Joseph County. This was
done to assure that revenue from fees and services collected by the Building Department is adequate
for effective operation.
It has been brought to the Council's attention that fees for registration of excavators, as
defined in the South Bend Municipal Code, Chapter 6, Article 4, Section 6- 10(d)(1)b, were not
increased to $125.00, unlike the fees for other contractors, and that this omission was unintentional.
Adjustment of the excavator registration fees from one hundred dollars ($100.00) to one hundred
twenty -five dollars ($125.00) is necessary to correct this oversight and assure that all contractors are
treated equally.
Adjustment of the fees as provided in this ordinance is in the best fiscal interest of
the City of South Bend.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of
South Bend, Indiana, as follows:
Section I. Chapter 6, Article 4, Section 6 -10 (d)(2) b of the South Bend Municipal Code shall
be amended to read as follows:
(d) Registration and permit for plumbing services.
(2) Registration required:
a. All persons performing plumbing services within the City shall be a Plumbing
contractor and shall register with the Department; provided, however, that the
owner - occupant of a dwelling shall not be required to register when he or she is
installing altering or repairing the plumbing of that dwelling.
b. Registration shall be on forms provided by the Department and shall be
accompanied by payment of a registration fee, as follows:
Plumbing contractors .....
$125.00
Excavators (as defined in Ssection 6- 10(d)(1)b�...... 490.09 125.00

City
c. Registrations shall be for a term of one (1) year beginning from the date of

d. Lawn sprinkler contractors, water softener contractors, and fire protection

by the Common Council, approval by the Mayor, and any publication
required by law.

Dear Mr. Scott:

On October 26, 2015, the South Bend Common Council enacted Ordinance No. 10394 -15 (Bill
No. 67 -15) which adjusted various permit and contractor registration fees charged by the
consolidated Building Department of the City of South Bend and St. Joseph County.
It has been brought to my attention that an unintentional error regarding the registration fee for
Excavators now exists. An adjustment of the excavator registration fees from one hundred
dollars ($100.00) to one hundred twenty -five dollars ($125.00) is necessary to correct this
oversight and assure that all contractors are treated equally.
Either my assistant, Ayoka Paek, or I will present these changes at the next available scheduled
Common Council meeting. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
