On Monday, August 20, 2007, the Village of Riverside Board of Trustees approved an ordinance which amended the Village Code that resulted in an increase in the fee for the Certificate of Compliance. These fees apply to individuals or entities which are involved in the transfer of ownership of any structure or dwelling unit in the Village of Riverside. Any sale must include a Certificate of Compliance issued by the Village Zoning Manager based on an inspection of the property. To keep in line with rising costs and to maintain a high level of service the following inspection fees associated with property sales or transfers have increased:
Inspection Fees:
Single-family residence: $175.00
Duplexes: $175.00
Multiple-family: $175.00 plus $20.00 for each unit over 2 units
Office/residence building: $175.00 plus $20.00 for each unit over 2 units
Commercial buildings: $500.00
The Village of Riverside strives to ensure that all property transfers are smooth and hassle free. The fees associated with the certificate of compliance include: the structure meets all current zoning requirements, final water bill has been paid to the Village, and all outstanding fees associated with the property are paid.
If you have any questions about the fee increases please contact the Village of Riverside at 708-447-2700.
