§ 17.64.070. Fees  


Latest version.
  • A. Application and Filing Fees. The city council shall, by resolution, determine application filings fee schedules for those land use actions which require a fee. The initial fee shall be paid upon filing the application and shall not be refundable.

    B. Deposit for Additional Services. In addition, each applicant may be required to pay an additional deposit to cover potential costs the city may incur in processing the application including assistance on the case involving time provided by the city planner, the city engineer, and city attorney; and time of city staff related to pre-hearing, hearing, and post hearing activities. The additional deposit shall be paid to the city at the time of application. If the deposit is more than required to cover the city's costs, then the difference shall be refunded to the applicant within thirty (30) days of the issuance of a notice of decision. If the deposit is insufficient to cover all of the costs incurred by the city in processing the application, then the city may require the applicant to provide an additional deposit to cover the estimated costs of processing the application or bill the applicant for additional costs incurred by the city. If at the time of the issuance of a notice of decision, the deposit does not provide sufficient funds to cover the actual costs incurred by the city in processing the application, then the city may bill the applicant for the additional costs within thirty (30) days of the issuance of a written notice of decision.

    C. The city may withhold the issuance of building permits or connection to city utilities until all fees due to the city are paid in full.
