Commission adopts revised planning and zoning fee schedule recommended by planning commission
Summary
Daggett County commissioners approved a new land-use fee schedule recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission after two review meetings; the schedule is intended to align fees more closely with neighboring jurisdictions and to cover staff processing costs under new state timelines for subdivisions.
The Daggett County Commission voted to adopt a revised land-use fee schedule recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Planning members said they met twice (Feb. 8 and March 25) to review fee structures in nearby counties and towns, and to balance the county’s lower current fees against the time and staff resources required to meet new state subdivision timelines.
Staff and planning commissioners told the board the recommended schedule is intended to bring Daggett County closer to neighboring jurisdictions’ fee levels while still avoiding sudden, large increases for property owners. The new schedule covers application fees for rezones, subdivision reviews (minor and major), and other land-use application types; building-permit plan-review fees and inspector charges remain separate.
Commissioners discussed how fee revenue will be used to offset the county’s additional administrative workload for reviews, inspections and enforcement. Staff explained fees will support the land-use office and associated processing costs rather than act as a secondary tax on property; the commission approved the recommendation as presented in a letter dated 04/15/2025.
Why this matters: The change affects developers and property owners who apply for subdivisions, rezones and other land-use approvals and aims to ensure fees more closely reflect the county’s administrative cost of processing applications.
