Fees & Escrow Information
Permit Application Fees
Permit fees are to be paid upon application to the District. Fees must be paid by check to the District office via mail or hand delivery. Permit applications which are submitted to the online application portal are considered incomplete until the appropriate fees are paid. Note that public entities are not required to pay fees.
Fees are used for the review of permit applications and inspections during construction. If review and inspection costs exceed the initial fee amount, the applicant will be invoiced. Any unused fees will be returned to the payer upon permit closeout.
