Fee Considerations. This is not an exhaustive list. Other fees may apply as there are too many site -specific and/or
project -specific variables. The Utility Connection, Concurrency, Fire Sprinkler, and Electrical are listed below for your
consideration.
Fees due. The plan review fee and technology fee must be paid when the application is submitted. All other fees
listed on the building permit must be paid when the building permit is issued.
Fixture fees. The estimate calculates the mechanical and plumbing fixture fees using those frequently found in a
home of this size: AC, clothes washer, cook stove, ERV, fans, fireplace, gas furnace, gas pipe system, gas water
heater, clothes washer, dishwasher, hose bibbs, tub/showers, and toilets. Fees will vary depending on your project.
Impact fees. Impact fees are assessed on new development for a proportionate share of the capital costs for city
parks, road plans, and school facilities. Park impact fees are determined by number of bedrooms. School impact
fees are based on square footage. Traffic impact fees are in the Transportation Impact Fee Study and Schedule.
Regulations are found in Port Orchard Municipal Code (POMC) 20.182.
Storm Drainage Capital Facility Fee. Storm Drainage CFC can vary. The amount shown in this example is for 1 ISU,
which is typical for most new SFRs. Regulations are found in POMC 13.06.
Utility Connection fees. The estimates below are for connecting to City of Port Orchard Utilities. A separate permit
is required and the connection fees are paid on it. Fees must be paid when the building permit is issued.
