[MassHistPres] Fee Schedule

[Logan, Erin]

Barnstable charges a $100 filing fee; the applicants are also responsible for providing postage stamps for mailing abutter notification as well as a $34.50 legal ad fee ($17.25 per ad and the ad runs twice). The local newspaper has agreed to set fees per application which helps keep the legal ad costs down.

Best Regards,

Salem does not charge any fees for Historical Commission applications.  There was concern that charging a fee would encourage more residents to try to avoid applying, resulting in more violations to enforce. We do not use legal ads for Historical Commission meetings, but do send abutter notices.

Currently we do not charge for filings for a Certificate of Appropriateness or a demolition filing under our Demo Delay bylaw.  Both certainly take staff time to review and usually require a legal notice being advertised and abutters notified.  Do any of you assess a filing charge and/or a fee for the legal ad?

Thank you in advance for your responses.
