Bel Air approves changes to numerous town fees and costs for service

Some fees associated with permitting, development and services in Bel Air will increase after the town mayor and commissioners passed legislation amending town fees last week.

The rates are outlined in the town’s “fee schedule,” which is subject to minor changes each year.

When the amendments to the town’s fee schedule were introduced earlier this month, the town administrator, Edward Hopkins, said there are more amendments than usual due to an effort to get outdated fees in line with the present cost of doing business.
