DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit community has increased its fee for extending the time spent building a residential home beyond 12 months, and officials with the Home Builders Association of Michigan worry that other communities could follow with similar fee changes.

A recent 4-1 Dearborn City Council vote on the issue was approved amid concerns about builders taking too long to construct homes, the Detroit Free Press reports (http://on.freep.com/11W54Le ). The fee to extend construction now is $1,000 per additional month; previously it was $25.
