The local authority introduced United States dollar-denominated fees in June 2022 much to the chagrin of residents. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- In a statement released on Monday, Chisango said: > City of Harare would like to advise its residents that building plan approval fees and related charges have been reduced to levels specified in November 2022: Schedule 25A of Fees and Charges [Building Inspectorate]. NewsDay reported that fees for high-density residential areas were increased in June 2022 to US$343 for the main house and US$505 for a single-storey house in low-density suburbs. According to a new schedule, fees for the main house in low-density areas are now set at US$150 and US$200 for a single-storey, the low-density. The approval fee for commercial single-storey has been reduced to US$250 from US$773. Harare Residents Trust (HRT) director Precious Shumba welcomed the development. He said: > Pricing has been the major inhibiting factor for a long time. Plan approval should be affordable for people developing their stands. > When a service is unaffordable, it discourages people from following the regulations and standards. > Where there is order, the council can easily control and monitor all infrastructural developments. Harare Metropolitan Residents Forum chairperson Marvelous Khumalo said: > This will promote infrastructural development in the city and motivate property developers to comply with city by-laws. > This might reduce the number of properties built without city approval, thereby improving standards and revenue for the city council.
