Fees
Excavation Fee
Excavation fees are equal to the cost, per square yard, for streets, overlays, and sealcoats, multiplied by the depreciation rate and the area of influence.
These fees are calculated by the city engineer based on information provided in the permit application.
Double Permit Fee
Permit and inspection fees double if a contractor is found to have worked or is working in the right of way without a permit.
Emergency excavations are exempt from this provision.
Reinspection Fee
City staff will assess a $50 fee when reinspection is necessary because work is not complete, or when corrections are not made.
