Fee Deposit Calculator

Major Permits/Plan Check

Fee Deposit Calculator

Fee deposits for improvement plan processing and construction inspection

Fee deposits are based on the value of the improvements however, staff time and project expenses are fully covered as defined in the City Council approved Fee and Charge Report. Deposits are paid in two stages as provided below. If charges exceed the deposits, the applicant will be invoiced for additional deposits to keep the account current. Project accounts with insufficient funds may be issued a stop work order until additional funds are collected. 10% of deposits will be deposited into the warranty account to cover various project expenses such as overall fund and system management, project closeout and warranty inspection work.

Initial Plan Submittal: The amount of the plan check deposit is determined by the equation below. The value of improvements is determined by the engineer's estimate of the work that is reflected in the improvement plans at time of submittal.
Issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP) with Construction: The value of improvements is determined by the contractor's bid of work reflected in the approved improvement plans. City staff will review the construction schedule and evaluate the anticipated costs based on the number of construction days, scope of work, complexity of the project, type of project (undeveloped land vs. infill), and other factors affecting city costs for inspecting development projects. The required deposit will be the larger of the two values.
