scout note
Foothills County issues building/safety-codes permits itself via its Building and Safety Codes Department (no private agency); Schedule B of this Fee Bylaw sets the permit filing/application fees per discipline and a 200%-of-fee (or $500 + 150%) penalty for starting construction without a permit, per the "County's Permit Fee Bylaw."
