 | Delta Waives Fees for North Delta Homes Damaged by Fires Mayor Jackson put forward a motion to assist residents that experienced damage to their homes from the fires that occurred in July 2018. The motion was unanimously endorsed by Council and resolved that any municipal permits needed for house reconstruction or repair due to weather-related fire damage be expedited and municipal fees not covered by insurance, waived for impacted North Delta residents. Residents that qualify for this initiative are requested to advise City staff when making their application, to help ensure that permits are expedited and fees waived. As well, homeowners that have already paid permit or inspection fees can seek a refund by contacting the Community Planning and Development Department. |
