New Fee Schedules | Building, Planning, and Engineering
Effective October 20, 2025, Park City adopted updated fees for Building, Planning, and Engineering services. These changes are based on a comprehensive cost-of-service study and are designed to ensure that fees reflect the actual time and resources required to process applications and deliver services.
While many fees have increased to align with current costs, some fees have gone down due to improved efficiency or updated methodologies. The new structure promotes fairness, transparency, and long-term financial sustainability.
What’s New?
- Phased increases for Planning fees over three years to ease the transition
- Lower Building Permit fees for many applicants
- Updated hourly rates for Engineering inspections and services
Benefits to the Public
- Improved fairness and equity: Fees are now more closely aligned with the actual cost of services, ensuring that applicants pay only for the resources their projects require—no more, no less
- Greater transparency and accountability: The updated fee structure is grounded in a detailed cost-of-service study, ensuring that fees are set using consistent, data-driven methods that reflect the real cost of providing service
- Long-term financial sustainability: By recovering the true cost of service delivery, the City can maintain high-quality development services without over-reliance on general fund subsidies
