Commission recommends recodifying subdivision plat and plan-review fees into county code

Washington County Planning Commission · March 24, 2025

Summary

Planning staff asked the commission to place long-standing plat and plan-review fees into the county subdivision code to comply with state law; the commission recommended the change, noting this does not create a new fee but encodes a 2005 resolution.

County staff told the commission the item is a technical recodification rather than a fee increase. Staff said a 2005 Board of Supervisors resolution has been used to charge plat and plan-review fees for nearly 20 years but state law requires those fees to be encoded in the subdivision ordinance. The proposal transfers existing fee language verbatim into the county code; staff emphasized the change is administrative.

Planning staff recommended forwarding the ordinance change to the Board of Supervisors. Commissioners asked no substantive questions; the commission voted to recommend approval. The commission noted a public hearing was held and no speakers registered for comment.
