DCD-PW Fee ScheduleResolution No. 116-23
FEE SCHEDULES FOR
DEPARTMENTS OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS
Effective January 15, 2024
A. General
1. No permit shall be issued, application accepted, service provided, or appeal filed without payment
of the applicable fee set forth below.
2. Time of collection of fees.
a. Fees shall be collected at the times specified in the City Code or this Fee Resolution. If not
specified, the minimum fee shall be collected at the time of application submittal. No
application will be deemed "counter complete" until the fee due with the application has
been received by the City.
b. For applications that are submitted online, the applicant can pay the fees electronically or
may submit another form of payment in person or via U.S. Mail. The determination of
whether a permit application is "counter complete" will be deferred for four business days
following submittal of the online application submittal. If payment for the fees is not
received by the City by the fourth business day, then the City will reject the application. In
no case will the City take any steps to process an application until such time as the fees due
with the application are received in full.
c. The City may bill an applicant and require payment for accrued fees at any time in the
permit review process.
d. The final fees will be recalculated during review, and any additional amount due shall be
collected prior to the issuance of the permit, approval, denial, decision or recommendation.
e. At the time an application or permit is denied or canceled, the final fee shall be determined
and collected.
f. Any fee in excess of the final calculated fee shall be refunded pursuant to Refunds Table 25.
g. All outstanding fees shall be paid prior to scheduling or performing final inspections.
3. References to the director refer to the director of the Department of Community Development or
his/her designee.
4. Some projects require more than one permit. A project may require the payment of numerous fees
from the tables below.
B. Building, Plumbing, and Mechanical Fee Policies
1. No temporary or final certificate of occupancy will be approved or issued for a project with any
outstanding fees on any permit associated with the project.
2. Some signs require a building permit in addition to a land use (sign) permit. In these instances, the
permit fees are additive. When an applicant is required to obtain a sign permit and a building
permit, separate fees are required for each permit.
3. The applicant for a permit shall provide an estimated construction cost at the time of application.
The amount shall be the contractor's bid price, rounded up to the next whole dollar. For work not
done by a contractor, the construction cost shall include the price of materials, plus the fair market
value of any donated, contributed or found materials, multiplied by two (2). Construction cost
calculated on 100 square feet shall be rounded up to the next 100 square feet for any portion
thereof.
Page 1 of 24
4. Single family home builders who wish to reuse a plan set to construct more than one home using
the same plan set may do so by utilizing a "basic plan" review process. When an applicant wishes to
establish a basic plan set for reuse, the plans shall initially be reviewed upon payment of the city's
standard plan review fee. Once plan review is complete and if the City finds that the plans conform
to the requirements of the Building Code, the plans shall be approved as a basic plan set and marked
as such for reuse. For each use of the plan, the applicant shall pay a reduced plan review fee as
established in Table 3 in lieu of the full plan review fee. The use of an approved basic plan set shall
have no effect on the building permit fee (only the building permit plan review fee). Plans may not
be reused if the city's building code has been updated unless the plans have been re -reviewed (upon
payment of the full plan review fee) and approved for conformance with the updated building code.
TABLE 1: Fee Calculations.
Permit fees and Plan Review fees shall be determined by using the calculations found in Table 1.
Valuations shall be determined using the IBC Building Valuation Data Table (BVD) (currently the
February August 2023 table as attached hereto) except as noted in the BVD Table and as otherwise set
in Tables 2 and 3.
Fee calculations and set fees found in Tables 2 and 3 apply to:
1. Alterations or repairs to existing buildings, based on the construction cost as determined by either
the contractor's bid price or construction materials x 2.
2. Processes with a fixed fee.
3. Processes with a fixed fee plus inspection fees.
4. Valuations base on square footage calculations which are not in the BVD Table.
5. Fees as a percentage of permit fee.

2. Alternative Forms Review.
When the applicant proposes to use an alternative form instead of the city's standard approved
form, the city may request review by the city attorney of the alternative form if a legal
determination is required to ensure that the language in the proposed form adequately
addresses the city's interests. The cost of review shall be paid by the applicant at the attorney's
hourly rate.
H. Appeal Fees.
Fees are collected when the appeal is filed. Any appeal statement must be filed on the deadline
established in the City's code relating to the specific appeal, together with a certified check in the
amount of the appeal fee.
If the City Council is the decision -maker on the appeal, only the appeal fee shall be charged.
If any appellant believes that the payment of the appeal fee creates a financial hardship, it shall submit a
request for an appeal waiver with the appeal statement on or before the deadline established in the
City's code relating to the specific appeal. This request for an appeal waiver shall describe the
appellant's financial situation and why payment of the appeal fee creates a financial hardship. As an
example, the appellant may provide evidence that the appellant resides in a low-income household,
which would include a single person, family or unrelated persons living together, whose adjusted
income is less than eighty percent of the median family income, adjusted for household size, for Kitsap
County.

Building Valuation Data - August 2023
Important Points
• The BVD is not intended to apply to alterations or repairs to existing buildings. Because the scope of alterations
or repairs to an existing building varies so greatly, the Square Foot Construction Costs table does not reflect
accurate values for that purpose. However, the Square Foot Construction Costs table can be used to
determine the cost of an addition that is basically a stand-alone building which happens to be attached to an
existing building. In the case of such additions, the only alterations to the existing building would involve the
attachment of the addition to the existing building and the openings between the addition and the existing building.
• The Square Foot Construction Cost does not include the price of the land on which the building is built. The
Square Foot Construction Cost takes into account everything from foundation work to the roof structure and
coverings but does not include the price of the land. The cost of the land does not affect the cost of related code
enforcement activities and is not included in the Square Foot Construction Cost.
