Building Permit & Development Fees See excerpts of inemos below from the Community Development Staff. Buildin� Permit Fees Attached is a d�aft p�oposal fo� pe�mit fee inc�eases f'or 2007. The justification fo� these inc�eases is as follows: • The Inspection Division collects pe�mit �evenue based upon fees calculated by job cost valuation (which theo�etically �ises with inflation) fo� app�ox. 80% of its �evenue. • Because revenues were not keeping up with expenditures over the past few years, the division began (in app�oximately 2004) inc�easing othe� fees (the 20%) by the ave�age of its expenditu�e inc�eases. Expenditu�e inc�eases have ave�aged 3.5% yea�ly since 2000. Fee inc�eases have ave�aged 3.0% since about �004. • Small yea�ly inc�eases of afew dolla�s a�e much more acceptable to cont�acto�s and the public than a�e la�ge� inc�eases eve�yfive yea�s o� so. .
