This is a reminder that Permit Review Fees increased in 2019, effective August 12, 2019.

In brief that means:

1. Small Project Permit Review Fees will be $700 each instead of $300.
2. Large Project Permit Reviews will be $10,000 each instead of $7,500.
3. Review fees will be multiplied by the number of metered connections.
4. All projects will be vetted at intake before a Review Fee is established:
   
   1. All plans will go to intake and if accepted you will receive an invoice.
   2. Only after intake generates an official invoice should the review fee be paid.
   3. A large project must be submitted with a base plan submission fee of $140 to initiate the intake review which culminates in invoice generation and then the permit review.
   4. A small project must also be submitted for intake review but currently the fee has not been established. Until it is implemented, no fee is required during submission of small projects.
   5. If rejected, a large plan can be resubmitted for a $75 fee.
   6. A rejected small plan will also need to be resubmitted but currently the fee has not been established. Until it is implemented, no fee is required during submission of small projects.
5. The Permit review will not start until the review fee has been paid.

Regarding the base submission fee:

• With the initial submission package include a check for $140 if it’s a large project and $0 if it is a small project. With a resubmission to intake, please include the resubmission fee of $75 for a large project. There is no fee for resubmission of a small project.
• Small project base and resubmission fees are pending, until effective any project consisting of 10 or more small service connections will be subject to the large project base and resubmission fees of $140 and $75 respectively.
