DOVER — Dover officials recently updated a trio of building fees to more accurately reflect the associated costs to the city.

The council unanimously adopted the measures after a public hearing on the proposed fee increases during its Jan. 11 council meeting. Among them were fees for resubmitted plans, re-roofing building permits, and updates to a building valuation table to reflect more current construction costs.

"This is a culmination of what we discussed," Councilor Dan Parkin said shortly before the council voted. "I applaud previous councils for holding prices down to the 2010 level, but this isn't 2010 any more."
