*Notice fees are charged per 'T' case number (except where specified).

**Fee for applications processed under a deposit are calculated using the current hourly rate.

***The Planning Director has discretion to require the listed minimum deposit fee, or a full recovery deposit estimate fee (see below) when the total actual processing cost is estimated by the Planning Director to likely exceed the listed minimum deposit fee. 

Full Recovery Deposit Estimate Fee (up to 120%)
A full recovery deposit estimate fee requires an upfront deposit of 100% of the actual projected processing cost as estimated by the Planning Director based on the project parameters and any additional information available. Additionally, any outside consultant costs required by the County for the project will be included in the estimate, and billed, at actual cost plus 20% administrative costs, to cover the County’s costs of administering the requisite contract. The 20% administrative cost will only be included in the Planning Director’s estimate, and billing, when an external consultant is used by the County. The full recovery deposit funds will be drawn down as needed to pay the actual invoices and any associated 20% admin fee on amounts paid, if applicable.  

The final billing balance for all applications requiring a deposit will be calculated using the total actual processing costs to ensure full cost recovery. Additionally, any outside consultant costs required by the County for the project will be included in the final balance, and billed, at actual cost plus 20% administrative costs, to cover the County’s costs of administering the requisite contract. The 20% administrative cost will only be included in the final billing when an external consultant is used by the County.
