Conn. Agencies Regs. § 29-251c-1 - Determination of education fee to be assessed against applicants for building permits by the state building inspector and municipal building officials
(a) The education fee to be assessed as
required by subsection (b) of section
29-252a
of the Connecticut General Statutes, and subsection (b) of section
29-263
of the Connecticut General Statutes, shall be set annually by the Commissioner
of Public Safety, hereafter "the Commissioner," after the training and
education budget has been approved by the Code Training and Education Board of
Control as provided in subsection (b) of section
29-251c
of the Connecticut General Statutes.
(b) The amount of such education fee for any
year shall be determined by estimating the total construction value of all
building permit applications that are anticipated to be filed in the state that
year, dividing the Commissioner's training and education budget total for that
year by that number, multiplying the result by 1,000, and then adding the fee
anticipated to be retained by the municipality for that year (the "municipal
retention fee"). Expressed as a formula, such calculation shall be performed as
follows: (Training and Education Budget/Total Construction Value of Building
Permit Applications x 1,000) + Municipal Retention Fee = Education Fee. The
resulting number shall be rounded to two decimal places and shall be expressed
in hundredths of a dollar per 1,000 dollars of construction value.
(c) The education fee assessment may be
adjusted downward or upward annually, as necessary, provided that any annual
increase shall not exceed four cents.
(d) In forecasting the total construction
value of building permit applications that may be filed in the next fiscal
year, the Commissioner shall consider the current year's value to date and may
consider forecasts of future construction activity from the Connecticut
Department of Economic and Community Development or such other sources as the
Commissioner deems reliable and appropriate.
(e) Prior to a final annual determination of
the education fee amount, the Commissioner shall afford all interested persons
reasonable opportunity to submit data, views or arguments regarding the
education fee, orally at a hearing or in writing.
(f) Once the amount of the education fee has
been determined, the Commissioner shall notify each municipal building official
of any necessary fee adjustment.
