A change is under consideration in the fee structure for McMinnville Community Development Department for individuals seeking to obtain a building permit. Currently, the city uses an honor system where the individual making the application estimates the value of the work being done.Community Develop-ment director Nolan Ming says some people are lowballing estimates to reduce the permit fee.“Permit fees are supposed to be based on evaluation and not estimated cost, which is what we’ve done in the past,” Ming said. “We are proposing to adopt the building evaluation data table from the International Code Council, which is produced every six months to be updated to the most recent numbers for cost of construction.
