Council adopts clerical updates to planning fee schedule effective Jan. 1, 2026
Summary
Missoula City Council adopted a resolution adding several planning fees (resubmittal, technology, hazardous vegetation removal, snow/ice removal) to Exhibit B of Resolution 8,887; the schedule takes effect 01/01/2026 after a 9–1 roll-call vote.
Missoula — The Missoula City Council voted Dec. 15 to amend the Community Planning, Development and Innovation Planning Fee Schedule (Exhibit B of Resolution 8,887) to add clerical, previously omitted fees including an application resubmittal fee, a technology fee, and code-compliance fees for hazardous-vegetation removal and snow/ice removal. The updated schedule takes effect Jan. 1, 2026.
Kirsten Hans, a staff member in planning, said the changes are clerical corrections to include fees unintentionally left off the FY26 fee schedule and showed the additions in the attached resolution materials: "These fees have been added to the bottom of the fee schedule as noted in the attached resolution," she said.
Councilor Campbell voiced a fiscal objection, saying he would vote no because he was concerned the fees amounted to an additional burden on taxpayers and expressed unease about subjective enforcement of vegetation and snow/ice compliance. After brief council discussion the roll-call vote was recorded as 9 in favor and 1 opposed; the resolution passed.
The amendment addresses administrative omissions from the earlier FY26 presentation and aligns the printed fee schedule with the council’s earlier budget decisions.
