These fees are dedicated strictly to police and fire services and are collected by Planning and Development Services when building permits are issued.

Land Use Assumptions & Infrastructure Improvement Plans

As is required by state law the City must update is Land Use Assumptions and Infrastructure Improvement plans every five years and adjust the development fees as necessary.
