Right-of-Way Work Permit Fees

1. A non-refundable Administrative Fee of $75.00 shall be charged to offset the cost of reviewing and processing the permit application.

2. Additive costs shall be applied as indicated below and shall be charged to offset the cost of inspecting the project work. The Public Services Department designee will determine the total permit fee using the below schedule.

3. Permit submissions will be valid for 60 days. After the 60-day period, a monetary charge equal to the application administrative fee of the initial permit will be charged every 30 days. Expired permits may be reinstated; however, fees for reinstatement of expired permits shall equal the application administrative fee.

4. If a permit is canceled prior to beginning work, the application fee will be retained as compensation for costs incurred by the City during plan review.

5. The Public Services Department may establish an account to track plan review and inspection costs and may bill the permittee not more often than once per 30 calendar days. If an account is established for these costs, the permittee shall be responsible for the nonrefundable application administrative fee and the billed costs.
