Go Green Initiative
This initiative promotes environmental sustainability through the exemption of building permit fees for the installation of solar panels.
Eligible Applicants - Any for-profit business compliant with State, County, and Town requirements. All taxes and fees must be current at the time of application and remain current as a requirement of the grant. A claw-back provision applies.
Geographic Boundary - All commercial, industrial, and residential properties in Town.
Open Period - Applications are accepted on a continual basis. This program will end on June 30, 2020, unless reauthorized by the Mayor and Council.
Limitation - This initiative does not waive any permit or development related fees imposed by the State, County, WSSC, or any agency outside of the Town.
Illustration - Installation of solar panels may incur Prince George’s County building permit fees of five-hundred dollars ($500). The Town’s building permit fees are 75% of the County’s fees or three-hundred seventy-five dollars ($375). Waiving the Town’s building permit fee provides a benefit of $375.
All programs and initiatives are subject to funding availability and the Town reserves the right to amend, modify or cancel this program at any time with or without notice.
Process:
1. The program will be promoted through the Town’s established outreach programs.
