Board member alerts public to proposed rise in city filing fees for appeals and home‑sharing exceptions
Summary
A board member told the Board of Adjustment that the city plans to propose higher filing fees — including a proposed $1,450 appeals fee and $1,100 fee for home‑sharing special exceptions — with an informational Zoom meeting scheduled for May 22 and a hearing June 3.
A board member on the Board of Adjustment told attendees that the city is considering increases to certain filing fees that could affect people who appear before the board.
The board member said the proposed change would raise the fee for appeals to $1,450 and raise the special‑exception filing fee for home sharing to $1,100. "This is expected to be introduced May 22, and then a June 3 hearing," the board member said, and added that there will be an informational Zoom meeting on May 22.
The announcement came at the start of the meeting when the chair moved communications and reports ahead of the published agenda so people already in the room would hear about the proposal. The board member offered to share an email address after the meeting for anyone who wanted to comment.
No formal action was taken by the board; the announcement was informational. The board did not vote or direct staff to draft language at this meeting.
Members of the public who want to weigh in should note the meeting and hearing dates mentioned by the board member; the city will hold an informational Zoom session before the scheduled hearing.
