DCD and Public Works Fee SchedulesExhibit A to Resolution 044-22
FEE SCHEDULES FOR
DEPARTMENTS OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS
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.
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 value 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 value shall include the price of
materials, plus the fair market value of any donated, contributed or found materials,
multiplied by two (2). Construction value calculated on 100 square feet shall be rounded up to
the next 100 square feet for any portion thereof.
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 2020 table as attached hereto) except as noted in the BVD Table and as otherwise set in
Tables 2 and 3.

F. Work by Outside Consultants: Building and Fire Codes.
1. The jurisdiction may 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.
b. 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 by contracted services. Permit fees cover the consultant's
inspection charges except for afterhours inspection.

under contract with the city.
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, and provide that estimate to the applicant for
payment to the city. The city shall authorize the consultant to proceed once the
payment has been received.
If additional special review by the consultant is required, and amended scope of work
and new estimate shall be obtained by the city for payment by the applicant before
the additional work by the consultant can proceed.
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

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.

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 2022
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.
