New Milford Waives Permit Fees, Post Sandy

Homeowners who need to repair their homes, post Hurricane Sandy, can receive permission to not pay any permit fees

As life continues to return to normal following Hurricane Sandy, New Milford has announced that the borough will waive any permit fees for repairs and reconstruction due to damage sustained by Sandy.

During Monday's work session, the Mayor and Council passed a resolution waiving permit fees for a period of three months to assist people who are reconstructing houses damaged during Sandy.

All plans will have to be approved by the Building Department prior to construction, at which point Construction Official James Taormina can waive the permit fees so long as the work is related to repairs caused by Hurricane Sandy.
