Commissioners considering building, planning fee schedule adjustment

The Board of County Commissioners continues to discuss adjusting the building and planning fee schedule, which has not been holistically updated in about 14 years.

Commissioners held a workshop in April with Community Development; that workshop was continued to 10:15 a.m. on May 20. A public hearing on the new proposed fees is set for 10:30 a.m. on June 10.

Currently, building and planning fees are not based on a cost-recovery scale. In 2024, the County used just over $300,000 from its general fund to pay for expenses in Community Development.

Commissioners have discussed making Community Development a cost-recovery department, where its revenues cover its expenses, ensuring those who receive the department’s services are paying for the services.

The proposed fee schedule (PDF) is available online. Get the Zoom login and agenda packet on the Commisssioners webpage.
