Agenda 06/13/2017 Item #11D06/13/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution amending the Collier County Growth Management
Department, Development Services Fee Schedule, with an effective date of October 1, 2017.
______________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To implement a targeted fee reduction for several of the Building Plan Review and
Inspection Division fees in the Collier County Growth Management Department Development Services
Fee Schedule.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Growth Management Department has continued to promote a business-
friendly environment that focuses on best management practices and efficiencies. It is proposed that the
following permits and or fees are amended as described below. Several of the fee changes are b ased on
the results of the fee study prepared by MGT of America. Further, the savings to customer calculations
are based on the year permit activity for 2016 and therefore it is assumed that future permit activity will
be similar in nature.
Elimination of convenience permit books and reduction of residential AC change out permit fee
Change: It is proposed that residential AC change out convenience permit books, consisting of 10
permits at $62 each, are eliminated. As a replacement for convenience permits, customers will utilize
regular residential AC change out permits. The cost of a regular AC change out permit will be reduced
from $160 to $60 each.
Justification: This change will not adversely impact customers as regular AC change out permits are
easily assessable through our Electronic Plan Review process. Further, convenience permits take
significant staff resources and eliminating them will allow staff to focus on other permits.
Savings to customers: It is estimated that this change will result in a reduction of revenue of $437,318.
Fee changes for structural review of buildings 4 stories and greater
Change: It is proposed the current structural review fee for buildings four stories and greater is
eliminated and the fee methodology is charged as follows:
Buildings three stories and under will utilize the existing fee structure, a rate of $0.055 per square
foot, and fees will be charged by trade.
Buildings four stories and greater will be charged at the following rates: Structural $0.17,
Electrical $0.09, Plumbing $0.07 and Mechanical $0.07 per square foot.
Justification: The proposed changes simplify the fee structure. Buildings four stories or greater will be
aligned with the Florida Building Code’s “threshold building” category which call for additional staff
time to review the required engineering documentation. Further, this fee was determined by the third
party consultant, MGT of America, to be extreme and arbitrary.
Savings to customers: $9,759 and $126,155, respectively.
Fee changes for building permit inspection
Change: It is proposed the building permit inspection fee is reduced from $50 to $45.
Justification: A reduction incentivizes permit holders to call for inspections and obtain a certificate of
completion.
Savings to customers: $1,005,000.
Fee changes for solar permit
Change: To reduce fees as follows:
Domestic and Pool Water: reduce fee from $160 to $100 (to include inspections)
Solar electric: reducing fee from $500 to $205 (to include inspections)
Justification: To incentivize solar activities in the County.

Packet Pg. 303

Savings to customers: $31,200
Fee changes for irrigation permit
Change: To reduce the fee from $100 to $35 (to include inspections).
Justification: This permit is issued over the counter and there is no Building Plan Review and Inspection
review. The permit requires one minimal field inspection. The reduction of the fee is closely aligned with
the water heater permit model.
Savings to customer: $84,500
Beyond the targeted fee reductions, certain other duplicative or no longer relevant fee types were
removed.
In addition to consumer cost savings and efficiency programs, Collier County received a 2017 National
Association of Counties (NACo) Achievement Award and the NACo President‘s 100 Brilliant Ideas at
Work Award, for implementing a digital inspection platform that provides inspection scheduling and
notifications to our clients through different messaging platforms prior to inspector arrival. The
department continues to create and explore industry best practices that will enhance online service
offerings to residents and businesses. NACo posted an honor roll of the 100 Brilliant Ideas on their
website the week of June 5th to announce award winners to the public.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Fee Schedule changes will result in cost savings to the development industry
as noted for each permit type above. The total savings is approximately $1.6m. Further, there will be
savings in County staff time and resources with the elimination of convenience permits.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with
this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and
requires a majority vote for Board approval. SAS
RECOMMENDATION: To approve the resolution amending the Collier County Growth
Management Department Development Services Fee Schedule to include the following changes:
elimination of convenience permit books and reduction of fee for the residential AC change out permit;
modification of the fee methodology for structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical review of
buildings four stories or greater; reduction of the fee for building permit inspection; reduction of the
review and inspection fee for a solar permit; reduction of the review and inspection fee for an irrigation
permit; and elimination of obsolete, duplicative and irrelevant fees.
