Wastewater fees go up 25 percent in Door County

It could cost you more money to flush your toilet in Door County if the Board of Supervisors approves a fee increase for private on-site wastewater treatment systems. If approved, the fees for private on-site wastewater treatment systems would go up 25 percent, whether they have holdings of more or less than 3,000 gallons a day. That is an increase of $50 to $250, depending on the type and size of the system. According to the resolution presented to the Board of Supervisors, the Resource Planning Committee, the Board of Adjustment, and the Land Use Services Department have not increased the fees since January 2021. The fees for applications for zoning permits will also be adjusted to help defray some of the costs of the programs under those departments' guidance, which include zoning, planning, and sanitarian. While some of the fees will stay steady, others will increase between $50 and $300 depending on the type of permit being requested and the footprint of the structure on the site. The Door County Board of Supervisors will also look to approve a Wisconsin Deflection Initiative Grant to the Door County Sheriff’s Department and look at new positions and job reclassifications when they meet on Tuesday at 9 a.m.
