Notes:

1 The hourly rate fee is calculated using a standard annual hourly rate schedule (by job classification) multiplied by actual staff hours spent on the project. The hourly rate includes salary, benefits, and program overhead. Inspection time outside normal work hours is calculated at one and one-half (1.5) times the standard hourly rate. County will send a final itemized billing, less any initial deposit, that must be paid before the project is approved or finalized.

2 “Impervious surface” is defined in Sections 40.100.070 and 40.385.010(D).

3 Fee applies to requests to use a performance bond (or similar legal instrument) to delay constructing public facilities or landscaping, The fee also applies when obtaining traffic impact fee credits, under certain circumstances. Fee is for staff costs for activities including, but not limited to, negotiating the terms of the bond, reviewing cost estimates and legal documents, and releasing the bond when completed. Field inspection time is not included in this fee.

4 When the application requires both a transportation and stormwater inspection, only one (1) issuance fee is required.
