Homeowners seeking to rezone their property will take a bigger hit in their pocketbook. The County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a significant increase in zoning and general or area plan amendment fees during its meeting on Tuesday. The fees will go into effect in mid-October.

The County Planning and Zoning Commission endorsed the increase in a 5-3 vote during its meeting last month.

Some of the fees increase by as much as 100 percent. According to material given to the Board by the P&Z Department, the zoning and plan amendment fees have not been increased since 2001.
