They are disclosed here rather than estimated, paraphrased from a non-official source, or omitted silently. These items remain under limited-coverage review until any remaining gaps are closed from official sources.
Zoning and plat fees
The City Planning and Zoning Fees page is an inline table that carries only a revision stamp ("Updated 11/2022") with no adopting ordinance or effective date, and no dated planning fee schedule or adopting ordinance was found on the City domain. Under ZoneFee's sourcing standard, its amounts are not used. The Building Inspection Fees page covers building permits only. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Impact fees
The FY 2025-26 Utility Service Fees schedule has no impact fee line, the Planning and Zoning Fees page carries none, and the City sitemap has no impact fee page.
