HomeMy WebLinkAboutDCD and PW Fee Schedules 25-05-03A. General
1. No permit shall be issued, application accepted, service provided, or appeal filed without payment of
the applicable fee set forth herein.
2. Time of collection of fees.
a. Fees shall be collected at the times specified in the City Code or this Fee Schedule. 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. The City may bill an applicant and require payment for accrued fees at any time in the permit
review process.
c. 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.
d. At the time an application or permit is denied or canceled, the final fee shall be determined
and collected.
e. Any fee collected but in excess of the final calculated fee shall be refunded pursuant to
Refunds Table 25.
f. 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 costs
calculated on 100 square feet shall be rounded up to the next 100 square feet for any portion
thereof.
4. Single family detached house, accessory dwelling unit, townhouse, and duplex builders who wish to
reuse a plan set to construct more than one housing unit using the same plan set under the IRC 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 (Except for the plans being used as part of the pre -approved accessory dwelling unit program).
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
Page 1 of 24
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
2025 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.

F. Work by Outside Consultants: Building and Fire Codes.
1. The city may, at its sole discretion, send permit applications to third -party consultants for plan
review. The plan review fee paid as described in Section B covers the City's consultant cost, except
for the following reviews:
a. Third and subsequent submittals. The applicant shall pay the actual hourly costs as listed in
table 21 for all 3rd and subsequent submittals.
Projects with total valuation exceeding $10,000,000, or projects of a significant complexity
that require outside review such as courthouses, schools, hospitals as determined by the
Building Official. For projects as described in this subsection, the initial plan review fee shall
be applied to the 3rd party consultant review fee. If that fee is inadequate to fully pay the
actual plan review fee then the applicant shall be billed for the additional cost as described in
subsection 3 below.
2. The city may provide inspections through contracted services. Permit fees cover the consultant's
inspection charges except for afterhours inspection when requested by the applicant.
3. The plan review fees and afterhours inspection fees as described in Sections 1 and 2 shall be billed at
the rates provided in table 21.
4. The fees charged listed in table 21 shall are based on an hourly rate must be paid in full prior to the
issuance of the permit, approval, denial, decision or recommendation, final inspection, or issuance of
Certificate of Occupancy, as applicable to the type of permit and when the work is performed.
5. When the hourly rate is used for consultants, the fee may be rounded to the quarter hour.

G. Work by Outside Consultants: Other Services.
The city may, at its sole discretion, send permit applications and associated materials to third -party
consultants for review. The applicant shall be required to pay the actual cost of 3rd party review by
qualified consultants under contract with the city.
1. Special Reports Review.
a. When an application includes the submittal of special reports and/or plans such as habitat
management plans, geotechnical reports, or traffic impact analyses requiring review beyond
the capabilities of city staff, the city will obtain a fee estimate from its consultant for the
scope of work, provide that estimate to the applicant for payment to the city, and authorize
the consultant to proceed.
Page 18 of 24
b. If additional special review by the consultant is required, an amended scope of work and new
estimate shall be obtained by the city for payment by the applicant.
c. If the consultant's fee total is less than the full amount paid by the applicant, the remainder
shall be refunded according to section K. and table 25.
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 — February 2025
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.
