Snohomish County Planning and Development Services UDC Forum August 7, 2008 2009 Proposed Fee Schedule Adjustments
Proposed Recommendations • Four Fee Recommendations • Revenue Enhancing • Construction Valuation Update • Technology • Revenue Neutral • Drainage and Grading • Building Subtrades
Impact on Building Fees The Impact on Building Fees would Vary by Size of new SFR
Technology Fee • Online Permitting • Additional permit types available via web • Electronic Plan Submittal and Review • Accept electronic documents • Reduce number of copies for submittal of complex land use applications • Reduce time spent searching for files and handling paper • Electronic Routing for Agency Comments • Shorten time waiting for review comments from agencies with jurisdiction • Update permit tracking system in live time 6
Technology Fee • Web Based version of AMANDA 5 • GIS, Public Portal, Mobile, Review, Milestone Monitor • Process Redesign to Support Code Changes • Fee changes • Rural Clusters, Urban Residential Design Standards • NPDES and Shoreline • Enhanced Web Services • Access to services, tools and documents 7
Technology Fee Continuous Improvements in Process and Technology Access to Improved and Responsive Services Less Trips to Snohomish County Dedicated Revenue for Technology Projects 8
Technology Fee Recommendation: 3% surcharge on fee transactions OR Ten Dollars (whichever is more) 9
Building Subtrade Fee • Recommendation: 11% of the Building Permit Fee in Lieu of the Fixture-Based Fee in new SFR Construction • Current Mechanical and Plumbing Fees Assessed based on Fixtures and Appliances Count • Modifications Result in Incremental Fees Costly for PDS and Customers to Administer
Building Subtrade Fee • Fees for Stand-Alone Trade Permits Would not Change • Other Jurisdictions (Bellevue and Vancouver) use Similar Fee Structures • Simplification of Subtrade Fees is Revenue-Neutral
