Development Fee Changes Starting July 1
There are several development fee-related updates taking effect on July 1, 2026. These updates include:
- Credit card transaction fees will now be the responsibility of the customer for all Permit and Development Portal payments. These fees are determined by each customer's credit card company.
- Customers may use eCheck (ACH) or a regular check which do not incur fees. Payments of any amount will be allowed.
- A new Development Fee Guide will be available online July 1, 2026. All fees assessed on or after July 1, will follow the new rates through June 30, 2027.
- Permit and plan review fees are assessed at the time the fees are invoiced according to the Development Fee Guide.
