In the context of zoning, a fee calculator allows an applicant to calculate exactly what it will cost to make application for development approvals and permits. More generally, the calculator may also generate the fees for a schedule of licenses, inspections, rental charges, penalties and other fees.
Development applicants must pay fees to submit planning and zoning applications and permits, including for code and plan amendments, site development and use permits, improvement plans and permits, subdivisions and vacations, and relief, appeals and interpretations, in addition to engineering and construction plans and inspections, building and occupancy permits, and a host of other fee types.
Fee calculators help applicants establish reliable budgets for all their projects.
Even with seemingly minor expenses like application fees, miscalculations can be costly, so precision is critical. Likewise, errant calculations of fees can reduce revenues and cause budgetary impacts.
