Board approves sheriff's office fee changes after public hearing

San Diego County Board of Supervisors · May 19, 2026

Summary

After a public hearing with mixed testimony, the board voted to adopt an ordinance amending the sheriff's office fee schedule, including several fee increases and deletions; the ordinance passed with all supervisors present voting yes.

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing May 19 on an ordinance to revise the sheriff's office fee schedule and approved the change with a unanimous vote of the supervisors present.

Public comment ranged from requests for clearer explanations of individual fees to broader concerns about the size of the consent agenda and the timing of hearings. Speakers singled out particular fee increases and asked staff to explain the calculations and public benefit. Acting Chair Montgomery Stepp and other supervisors allowed multiple callers to express concerns before the board voted to adopt the ordinance.

The board did not amend the ordinance during the hearing; the measure takes effect as directed by staff in accordance with county procedural timelines.
