DCD New Fee Policy and Fee Structure

Effective February 1, 2008

On Monday, January 28, 2008 the Board of County Commissioners approved the ordinance to raise Community Development fees. The fee changes have been developed to effectively assist our clients while transitioning the Department of Community Development from a General Fund Department to an Enterprise Type Fund Department.

Improved Business Processes

The Department of Community Development will continue new business processes in order to further reduce the backlog of permits and improve customer response times. The following changes will enable Development Engineering, Land Use and Environmental Reviewers to focus on achieving these goals:

Reviewers will meet with customers by appointment only.

Reviewers will be sequestered during non-scheduled appointment times to focus on backlog projects.

Reviewers will dedicate the last hour of the day to return phone calls. All calls are expected to be returned within 48 hours.

Planner of the Day will be available to answer general planning and/or process questions.

Contact (360) 337-7181 to schedule an appointment or to be routed to the Planner of the Day.

To request an inspection, please call (360) 337-4696.
