Chapel Hill School District Cost of Building Going UP!

There are a multitude of different permits and fees required to build any new home. Orange County and Chapel Hill have long had some of the highest fees in the Triangle.

And they're going up.

These fee increases were approved in December 2008, with new increases taking affect each January.
