EXAMPLE FEE CALCULATION
Utility Plan Review fees are lump sum flat fees, due at the time of each submittal. The fee schedule is as follows:
Initial Resubmittal Project Type
Fee Fee
Any project with a proposed utility length of 750’ – 1,499’ $ 500 $ 250
Any project with a proposed utility length of 1500’ – 2249’ $ 750 $ 375
Any project with a proposed utility length of greater than 2,250’ $ 1,000 $ 500
Any other project requiring a Utility Plan Review $ 320 $ 160
Each resubmittal requires the additional fees noted. The fees for a project with a proposed utility length of 900’
that requires two resubmittals to gain approval would therefore be $500 + $250 + $250 = $1,000.
