Agenda 05/28/2019 Item #11E (Resolution - Development Services Fee Schedule)05/28/2019
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, 2019,
decreasing fees by approximately $335,000 annually.
OBJECTIVE: To implement targeted fee reductions (per the changes listed below) in the Collier County
Growth Management Department Development Services Fee Schedule.
CONSIDERATION: The Growth Management Department has continued to promote a business-
friendly environment that focuses on best management practices and efficiencies. The Development
Services section of the Growth Management Department continues to introduce new initiatives to attempt
to make us the most responsive regulatory agency within the State of Florida. Balancing the fee structure
with the level of service provided is part of that process. These types of initiatives allow staff the ability
to increase outreach and education, bring costs more in line with the actual service provided, and pass
cost savings to the industry.
It is proposed that the following permits and or fees be amended as described below. The savings to
customers calculations are based on permit activity during 2018 and assumes similar activity in the future.
Fee change for building permit reinspection
Change: Reduce the fee from $60.00 to $45.00, the same fee charged for an initial inspection.
Justification: A reduction incentivizes permit holders to call for inspections and obtain certificates of
completion and removes the punitive fee as it does not cost staff any additional funds to perform this
service.
Savings to customers: $290,000.
Fee change for building permit inspections on a time-specified basis
Change: Reduce the fee from $90.00 to $70.00.
Justification: Since the introduction of the CityView mobile application where notifications for
inspectors arriving on site are provided to customers either digitally or by prerecorded voice message, the
need for time-specified inspections has been limited to only concrete pours. Although these inspections
typically result in a fewer number of inspections per inspector, per day, staff has successfully blended a
limited number of non-time-specified inspections to lower division overhead costs. These savings are
being requested to be passed on to the client and continue to incentivize permit holders to call for
inspections and obtain certificates of completion.
Savings to customers: $15,000.
Fee change for third & subsequent corrections to Plans
Change: Reduce the fee from $90.00 to $65.00.
Justification: There is no change to the fees for the first correction (no charge) or the second correction
($65.00). The reduction of fees for third and subsequent corrections more closely aligns staff time with
the fee charged and is less punitive to the customer.
Savings to customers: $11,000.
Fee change for sheet change-outs
Change: Reduce the fee from $35.00 per sheet to $25.00 per sheet.
Justification: The reduction of this fee more closely aligns staff time with the fee charged.
Savings to customers: $4,000.

After-the-Fact Environment or Landscape permits
After-the-Fact Excavation permits
After-the-Fact Well permits
Change: Change the fee from “4x the normal fee” to “2x the normal fee.”
Justification: This change follows a policy set in the past to reduce the after-the-fact charges in the Fee
Schedule to be less punitive to the customer. Once these changes have been implemented, all after -the-
fact fees in the Fee Schedule will be “2x the normal fee” if processed according to the Collier County
Consolidated Code Enforcement Ordinance (Ord. No. 2010-04, as amended) and per provisions of
Chapter 162, parts I or II, Florida Statutes, as may be applicable, or performed by a licensed contractor. If
work is performed by a property owner that seeks voluntary compliance, the fee shall be assessed at the
regular rate as defined in the Fee Schedule.
Savings to customers: $15,000.
USB download
Change: New fee of $5.00, the same as the fee for CD burning.
Justification: Downloading large files (plans, etc.) to a USB device will be quicker, less cumbersome to
create, and allow for more storage than a CD. Costs associated with purchasing and encrypting blank
USB devices will be offset by this fee.
Savings to customers: Neutral.
Easement Use Agreements (EUA)
Change: New fee of $2,000.00, the same as the fee for Vacation of Easements.
Justification: Easement Use Agreements provide the County the right to retain easement ownership for
future capital or maintenance needs and require as much staff time to process as Vacation of Easements.
There is currently no fee code for providing this service, so staff has been using the Vacation of Easement
fee.
Savings to customers: Neutral.
This item to change the Fee Schedule was presented to the Development Services Advisory Committee at
their May 1, 2019 meeting. All items were approved unanimously except for the after-the-fact permit
proposal to reduce the fee from “4x the normal fee” to “2x the normal fee”, which was approved nine
votes to four votes. The four dissenters felt that the current “4x the normal fee” was appropriate and just.
FISCAL IMPACT: These changes are anticipated to reduce revenues by approximately $316,000 in
Fund 113 and $19,000 in Fund 131 annually beginning in FY20.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to
form and legality, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: To approve a Resolution amending the Collier County Growth Management
Department Development Services Fee Schedule, with an effective date of October 1, 2019, decreasing
fees by approximately $335,000 annually.
