Law: Dpwh Department Order No. 155 S. 1992

Decision Date: Sep 25, 1992

DPWH Department Order No. 155 S. 1992 implements a 100% increase in building permit fees in Metro Manila, raising the minimum fee from P100 to P200 per square meter to address the significant rise in construction costs since 1977.

Law Summary

Authorization and Legal Basis for Revising Fees

The revision of fees is made pursuant to Section 203, Subsection (4) of PD 1096 which authorizes the Secretary of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to prescribe and adjust fees and other charges collected by the Building Official.
The Department Order No. 155 series of 1992 serves as the instrument enacting the fee revision.

Scope of Fee Adjustment

The revised fees reflect a 100% increase from the previous schedule.
The minimum fee in Metro Manila is increased from P100 to P200 per square meter.
Corresponding fee adjustments are made for second-class cities and municipalities, taking into account regional variances.
The adjustment aims to align fees more closely with actual construction costs and enhance service delivery.

Implications and Objectives

The fee increase seeks to generate sufficient funds to improve services and facilities in connection with building permit processing.
The adjustment is considered reasonable and fair relative to the rise in construction costs over the period.

Effective Date and Documentation

The revised fee schedule was officially adopted on September 25, 1992.
The full schedule and detailed provisions are published in the National Administrative Register (NAR) Vol. III No. 4, October-December 1992, pages 497 to 503.
