AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS,
AMENDING SECTIONS 7-19, "PERMIT FEES," AND 34-4, "APPLICATION
AND FEE FOR WATER AND SEWER TAPS," OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES TO CONFORM WITH STATE LAW; MAKING OTHER
FINDINGS AND PROVISIONS RELATED TO THE SUBJECT; PROVIDING A
REPEALER CLAUSE, A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE, A SAVINGS CLAUSE, A
PENALTY CLAUSE; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the Sec. 7-19 of the City of Paris Code of Ordinances sets forth construction
permit fees and Sec. 34-4 sets forth fees for water and sewer taps; and
WHEREAS, the Texas Legislature, in HB 852, effective September 1, 2019, added Sec.
214.907 to the Texas Local Government Code providing that building permit fees for
construction or improvements to residential dwellings may not take into account the value of the
dwelling or the cost of the construction of or improvements to the dwelling, thus necessitating
the amendment of Sec. 7-19 to conform with the new law; and
WHEREAS, the City has not revised its building permit fee schedule and water and sewer
tap fee schedule since at least 2009; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it desirable to revise these fee schedules so as to allow
the city to perform the services related to said permits and related work on a break even basis,
thus avoiding having to subsidize those services from the taxes of those not directly benefitting
from the development;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PARIS,
TEXAS:
