Commissioners adopt amended development fees for residential solar installations
Summary
The board approved a resolution amending the county fee schedule so that ground-mounted residential solar review fees align with right-of-way permit equivalents and adjusted departmental cost splits.
Chaffee County commissioners adopted a resolution March 18 amending development fees for residential solar projects. The change sets the planning and zoning fee for ground-mounted solar installations to be equivalent to the county’s right-of-way permit fee and adjusts cross-department fee splits as previously discussed in a work session.
Staff told the board the amendment follows direction given at a prior work session and is intended to simplify the fee structure and allow the planning department to charge a consistent fee equivalent to right-of-way permitting for ground-mounted solar installations. The resolution was presented with an effective date (recorded in the meeting materials) of March 18, 2025.
Outcome: Commissioners voted to adopt the fee amendment by resolution 2025-20.
