Zoning and Site Plan Fees
Source: Corinth Code of Ordinances Title XVI Fee Schedule, Chapter 170 Planning, Engineering, and Building Fees, Section (C) Zoning and Site Plans (Ord. No. 19-06-06-19; 19-12-05-46; 20-03-05-06; 23-11-02-43, November 2, 2023). The amounts match the City-linked Ordinance No. 23-10-19-42, passed and approved October 19, 2023, which is effective from and after its passage and publication. The codified history cites Ordinance No. 23-11-02-43 where the City links Ordinance No. 23-10-19-42; the amounts in both are identical.

|---|---|
| Zoning change (other than PD), 49.9 acres or less | $750 |
| Zoning change (other than PD), 50 acres or more | $1,200 |
| Planned development zoning | $750.00 plus $50.00/acre (maximum $3,000.00) plus 100% of legal and engineering costs |

| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Subdivision preliminary plat | $200.00 plus $5.00/lot or $30.00/acre, whichever is greater, plus 100% of engineering costs |

| Board of Adjustment | $200.00 |

The City one-page Development Fee Schedule summary shows the Board of Adjustment fee as $150.00, but both codified Chapter 170 Section (K) and Ordinance No. 23-10-19-42 set it at $200.00, so $200.00 is shown here.

Coverage Notes - What This Page Does Not Cover
Per ZoneFee's Partial-Verified Publication Standard, the items below were either not published by this jurisdiction as a dated fee schedule, not administered by it, or do not apply. 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.
Impact and tap fees
Not published as amounts; see Impact and Tap Fees above. Do not read this as a zero fee.
Special district fees
No PID, MUD or TIRZ developer fee appears in Title XVI or the City fee documents. Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. Three was terminated by Ordinance No. 26-07-02-21; a TIRZ is a tax-increment vehicle, not a developer fee. Closed-search outcome: unavailable via official sources.
Building permit fees
Building and trade permit fees also appear in Chapter 170. Building trade permit fees are outside the scope of this page.
Proffers
Cash proffers are a Virginia statutory instrument under Virginia Code Section 15.2-2303.4 with no Texas counterpart. Texas exactions run through Local Government Code Chapter 212 (subdivision and development) and Chapter 395 (impact fees). Closed-search outcome: this fee family does not apply to this jurisdiction.
