Contractor & Roofing Fees Increased

The Mt. Carmel City Council has voted unanimously to raise fees on contractors work in the city. At their meeting Monday afternoon, the council raised the annual contractor’s license fee from $25 to $50. Also raised was roofing permits. Those will go from $15 to $75 each. The new ordinance also puts more bite into cracking down on contractors who don’t play by the rules and get the required permits. City Clerk Ryan Turner said, even with the increases, Mt. Carmel still has some of the lowest fees contractor fees in the area.
